Zermatt sits in the shadow of the Matterhorn and the scene at night is magical.   In winter the area is a magnet for skiers, although they are replaced by sightseers and hikers in the summer.  Zermatt is trendy, expense and one of areas of Switzerland visited by the rich and famous.  Expect high prices, limited low-cost accommodations and the best of everything - for those who can afford it.  See our PhotoGuide to Switzerland's Alps for more information on the Matterhorn and the village of Zermatt.
