The Matterhorn Village
There are no malls and no department stores in Zermatt — and that is part of its charm. Shopping here means one beautiful car-free street: the Bahnhofstrasse, where watch boutiques, ski outfitters, and chocolate shops sit side by side beneath the Matterhorn.
For luxury department stores and big-brand shopping, plan a stop in Zurich or Geneva — Zermatt's gateway cities, both connected by direct rail.
