Lying in the shadow of the imposing Matterhorn, the resort town of Zermatt is a charming picturesque car-free village, which welcomes people throughout the year. In the winter, visitors are attracted to the winter sports, which are offered in the region, and during the summer months, hikers and walkers are commonly found in nearby hills.
