Explore the snow-covered backcountry around Zermatt by embarking on one of the many winter hiking or snowshoeing trails. Admire the wildlife and the fantastic views of the Matterhorn and surrounding peaks while relaxing away from the busy ski resorts.
Winter hiking comes with different hazards than hiking during spring or summer time. First of all, you will have to be careful about the risks of avalanche and will need to check the status of the trail before you start. Weather can also change very unexpectedly, so make sure to pack for all possibilities. Never go alone – it is recommended to go with a local guide so he can ensure your safety and make you aware about the hazards coming your way. Finally, if you are going on your own, never leave the marked hiking trail.
