Zermatt

A car-free village under the Matterhorn, made for snow days.
Perfect for
Families
Couples
Solo travellers
In February Zermatt is deep in winter: dry snow, bright high-altitude sun and the Matterhorn standing over a village with no cars. Mountain railways climb straight from the streets to glaciers, sledge runs and gentle children’s slopes. This year the Kuwaiti holiday week falls in Ramadan.
