City insight: Zermatt
Zermatt is a municipality in the district of Visp in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, sitting at about 1,620 m at the upper end of the Mattertal. It is famed as a mountaineering and ski resort in the Swiss Alps and is the southernmost commune of the German-speaking area. The high-altitude climate is cold and snowy in winter and cool in summer, so July to September is generally the best time to race.
