While the snowfall in the last days of April continues to ensure the best skiing conditions in the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise well into May, Zermatt is gearing up for the exciting 2025 summer season. In addition to a hiking trail network of over 400 kilometres in the midst of 38 four-thousand-metre peaks, a superbly developed bike offering and the highest gourmet density in the Alps in the village and on the mountain, the warmest season in the coming months will be all about events. ‘THE MATTERHORN STORY’, the gripping story of the first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865, will be re-enacted on Europe's highest open-air stage on the Riffelberg from 27 June to 23 August. On 9 September, Zermatt will also set the stage for the Cross-Country Short Track discipline as part of the 2025 UCI Mountain Bike World Championships. In summer, Zermatt once again offers the perfect mix of relaxation in the cool mountain air, a unique mountain world, sporting activities, top-class cuisine and exciting events.
