Top Zermatt Attractions You Can't Miss

Iconic Sights to Hidden Gems

Kids' ski lesson with Zermatt Ski School (age-guided group lesson)

Enroll the 6-year-old in a morning group lesson tailored for young beginners/intermediates while parents ski nearby or take an adult lesson. Lessons include practise on gentle slopes and basics of mountain safety.

Playtime / sports at Sportzentrum Zermatt (ice rink or pool depending on opening)

Indoor facility offering skating or a family swimming session depending on seasonal schedule — quiet, supervised space good for kids to burn energy.

Gornergrat panorama & short ridge hike

Stretch your legs with a 45–75 minute walk from the station viewpoint along an easy alpine path for unobstructed Matterhorn and glacier views — great group photo opportunities.

Rooftop Cocktail & Apéritif — The Omnia Lounge/Bar

A short, stylish apéritif at The Omnia's intimate lounge — great cocktails, soft lighting and panoramic mood before dinner.

Dinner at Chez Vrony — alpine terrace dining

Classic Zermatt mountain-meets-modern restaurant with a huge sunny terrace and outstanding Matterhorn views — ideal for lively group dinners and shared plates.

Snow play and short walk at Matterhorn Glacier Paradise (family-friendly areas)

Play in the snow, meet the 'snowman' viewing areas, and take in the glacier views — limited walking, mostly on flat, prepared areas suitable for children under supervision.

Local Tips from the travel experts

Handpicked tips from top-rated activities in Zermatt to help you make the most of your visit.

"Reserve the terrace ahead for a group of 4–6+; ask for a view-facing table to catch the sunset over the Matterhorn.Share a few starters and mains family-style so everyone samples the alpine specialties without long individual tabs.Plan your descent time back to town after dinner (some in your party might prefer to walk; funiculars run until later in summer)."

Dinner at Chez Vrony — alpine terrace dining

"Use the dedicated accessible boarding areas for the Sunnegga funicular and ask staff for assistance if you have mobility needs.Stick to the level path around Leisee (flat and compact) — it’s stroller- and wheelchair-friendly for short distances.Bring a light windproof layer; even in September the sun can be warm but breezes at Sunnegga feel cool."

Short funicular ride to Sunnegga and flat lakeside stroll at Leisee

"Book the children's group in advance and confirm meeting point (often the children's area at Sunnegga) — sign-in is usually 15 minutes before start.Bring a lightweight sled or snow toys for breaks between runs; instructors often allow a short supervised play break to keep motivation high.Ensure the child wears a helmet and has layered clothing; instructors appreciate a labeled parcel with a spare hat and snack."

Kids' ski lesson with Zermatt Ski School (age-guided group lesson)

"The museum is mostly indoor and warm — a great way to reset after travel; bring a small snack to keep a restless child engaged.The layout is compact and manageable with a stroller (use the elevator at the entrance); restrooms are available near the entrance.Highlight kid-friendly exhibits (avalanche and hut displays) before you go to orient the child and make the visit more engaging."

Matterhorn Museum – Zermatlantis (easy, kid-friendly museum)

"Use this time to request a warm flannel and a quiet spot in your room for a pre-spa moment together.If you booked spa treatments, confirm appointment details now and ask the spa to prepare a couple’s changing room.A quick power nap (20–30 minutes) will refresh you without making you groggy for the evening."

Slow Return & Short Rest at Hotel (freshen up for afternoon spa)

"Use the hotel lounge where seating is plentiful and restrooms are close; avoid long standing or unnecessary movement.Set a reminder to hydrate — mountain air can be drying even in Autumn; a glass of water and a light snack helps prevent fatigue.If you need mobility aids, ensure they are ready for the next short transfer (sunny evening at Leisee can be uneven in places)."

Afternoon rest at the hotel — hydrate and freshen up

"Mountain restaurants offer simple pastas and soups suitable for kids — choose indoor seating to avoid wind chill.If the child is tired, descend to town early and opt for a familiar family restaurant with high chairs and changing facilities.Ask staff for quick-serve options if you need to catch a mid-afternoon train or transfer — staff are used to families."

Lunch at the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise restaurant (or descent for town lunch if preferred)

"Bring a lightweight plastic sledge that’s easy to carry up short slopes; secure a pickup spot so parents can supervise from below.Avoid steep or crowded runs — stick to the marked family sledging areas and follow piste closures signs.Rotate kids and adults frequently so little ones get warm breaks; pack warm drinks in a thermos for quick warming."

Afternoon family sledging / toboggan fun at Sunnegga area

"Bring a picnic blanket and a few shareable snacks — the lakeside turf is perfect for a small-group picnic and splitting costs.If you want to paddle, bring water shoes or use the rental boats available in peak season; confirm availability in advance for groups.Sun protection is essential — the high alpine sun is strong; bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and portable shade or a light windbreaker for the lakeshore breeze."
