Village Route Bike Tour (Nr. 66)

The village route starts at the village square in the centre of Zermatt. The route heads along Wiestistrasse to Petit-Village, where a unique view of the village and the majestic Matterhorn behind it awaits. Once you have taken in the vista, continue via the village past the Hotel Cervo to the Restaurant Ried. 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 stopping by the ancient wooden houses and taking some time to admire the rural architecture.

The route is exclusively on wide roads and is also suitable for those with different types of bikes.
