Village Route Bike Tour (Nr. 66)

The village route starts at the village square in the centre of Zermatt, located between Migros and the tennis court. The route heads along Wiestistrasse to Petit-Village, with lovely views of the village of the Zermatt and the majestic Matterhorn behind it. After enjoying the view, head via the village past Hotel Cervo to Restaurant Ried, a perfect place to stop for a rest and a bite to eat. Surrounded by the gentle rustling of the larch forests, the route then heads back into the village and up to the Winkelmatten area, where the small park near the chapel offers a different perspective of the Matterhorn. The benches are also perfect for another break. The route back to the starting point heads past the St. Mauritius parish church, through the English quarter and the old part of Zermatt village. It’s well worth climbing off by the ancient wooden houses and taking some time to admire the rural architecture.
