The Matterhorn Village
Zermatt is a car-free mountain village, and almost all of its dining life happens on and around one famous street — the Bahnhofstrasse. In the evening it turns into a lively restaurant promenade, and above the village, sunny mountain restaurants serve lunch on the ski slopes and hiking trails.
Zermatt is a small village — for the full range of world cuisines, Zurich and Geneva are the gateway cities most visitors pass through.
