The Ski Club in Zermatt ...
Zermatt offers some of the most impressive skiing in the world, stretching from 1,620m to a lofty 3,889m – all set against the backdrop of the awe-inspiring Matterhorn.
The Ski Club’s Representative (Rep) Service will operate in resort, featuring two Reps. They’ll begin the season in early December and will be there until early April. Our Zermatt Facebook Group is incredibly active, with regular meet ups (both on and off snow!) planned by the 350+ members of the online Ski Club community. Our Zermatt group on the Ski Club App is your new home for the 2023/24 season, with regular updates and conversations from your Ski Club Reps and members in resort! There are four Freshtracks holidays visiting the resort this season, including the ever-popular Ski and Schnapps Peak Experience trips, a late-season powder adventure and a telemark weekend in April.

AprésPros and cons
- Huge, snowsure ski area that straddles the Italian border
- An excellent lift system with few queues
- Spectacular high mountain scenery and views of the iconic Matterhorn
- Charming village with a real buzz about it
- Loads of terrain for intermediate and advanced skiers
- World renowned mountain restaurants and hospitality on both the Swiss and the Italian sides of the border
- Great winter walking for non-skiers
- Child friendly – children up to 9 ski free and it’s up to 16 on Saturdays
- Not ideal for beginners – although there are good downloading options from novice areas
- Upper lifts can close during bad weather or in high winds – in particular the crossing to Italy
- The exchange rate has pushed up the cost in Switzerland overall
On the Slopes
- Total Pistes: 360 km
- Blue: 21%
- Red: 61%
- Black: 8%
- Off Piste Itineraries: 10%
- Lifts: 53
- Altitude: 1562m – 3899m
For Beginners
The main beginner area (with magic carpets and rope tows) is at Leisee, just below Sunnegga. There’s special pass to get you to and from that area and allow you to ski the blue run down to Findeln, but other than that progression to longer runs is difficult and the slopes are challenging for near-beginners.
Easier blue runs can be found in the Riffelberg area connecting with the Gifthittli chair. Skiers can return to the village on the train from this area.
For Intermediates
Where to start? The choice is almost limitless, with 295km of blues and reds Zermatt is one big playground for intermediates. Head to the snowsure runs on the glacier on a sunny day and drop over into Italy to Cervinia, where the rolling terrain is perfect cruising territory. Long reds can also be found by the Hirli chairlift and you can rack up over 1,000m of on-piste vertical from both the Rothorn and Hohtälli cable cars on runs that are often very quiet.
For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste
There is some great off piste when conditions are right, and the off piste itineraries include some excellent runs. The high altitude preserves the snow well, especially on the north-facing slopes, but much of the terrain is very rocky so a lot of the best itineraries need a few months of snow to fill in each winter. Ask your rep about hiring a mountain guide. The Skiguide Zermatt app (which is excellent) shows which itinerary runs are open as well as the status of the lifts and pistes.
In the Resort
The resort is a mixture of ancient chalets and barns, grand 19th-century hotels and modern buildings, most in a traditional style. The oldest, most charming part of the village has narrow lanes and old wooden barns with slate roofs, but the resort now stretches a long way down the valley. It can feel busy, especially on the main street, but there is always a real buzz about the place – just watch out for the electric taxis that nip around the town.
For Families
The cost, the general inconvenience of the place and the challenges facing beginners and near-beginners make for what is not an ideal family destination.
There are lots of facilities for younger children in town, but to get the best out of the resort, we’d recommend coming when the kids are a bit older so they can really make the most of the vast ski area.
For Après
There’s a good mix of sophisticated and informal fun, though it definitely helps if you have deep pockets. There are lively places on the mountain including Hennu Stall and Cervo at the base of the return run from Sunnegga.
Back in town you can’t beat the Ski Club’s social hour at the Hotel Pollux bar – get there early to get a good seat and keep your dinner plans flexible as the hour has been known to extend to several…
Getting to Zermatt
- Zürich airport: 3.5 hours
- Basel airport: 3.5 hours
- Geneva airport: 4 hours
- Calais: approximately 11 hours driving (571 miles)
Zermatt is located right at the end a deep alpine valley and cars are only allowed past Täsch if you’re a resident – a Park+Ride service is offered Taesch station with trains, buses and taxis available. The best way to get there is via the train – it is just under four hours from Geneva and around three and a half from both Zürich and Basel; all routes require a change at Visp for the local service up the valley, via the Park+Ride station at Täsch, to Zermatt station which is located in the heart of the village.

Lift Pass Prices
There are two rates available, a Zermatt-only pass and a pass covering the whole Internartional Ski Area including Zermatt, Cervinia, Valtourneche, and others. A Zermatt-only pass is more than sufficient for most intermediate skiers, but the extra opportunity to explore into Italy cannot be missed for experts and those who want to explore – single or multi-day extensions to Zermatt-only tickets are available if desired.
Children up to 9 years old ski for free.

Switzerland
Updated 20/12
The timeline for Christmas week snow is accelerated massively as a huge, dense area of low pressure gets swept in on the Jetstream to cover much of central and northern Europe as the weekend continues. Temperatures will remain cold through this weekend, with a freezing line dropping to 500m on Sunday and, as a result temperatures of -10°C being the norm at 2,000m.
Snow will first arrive in flurries on Saturday, but, in the west of the country, it is Sunday where things really shift through the gears. At least a foot of snow is expected down at Zermatt, initially over higher ground only thanks to a rare uptick in the freezing line, but eventually reaching all elevations as the freezing line falls away, continuing on into Monday when an additional 20cmcan be expected.
In the east of the region, things will turn slightly bonkers. This same Sunday snowfall falls as half-a-metre in most places and, instead of drying up as the new week begins, it will continue to fall across Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Christmas day), too. A further 45cm can be expected down on Monday and another 30cm on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Expect the avalanche risk to tick up to High or Very High (4 or 5) over the coming days as a result. Unfortunately whiterisk.ch don’t forecast in advance like the French do, so it is difficult to ascertain with any certainty what it might do. Please check your local forecasts carefully using the links below and plan any backcountry and off piste travel carefully in the coming days.

Repping dates: 14/12/2024 - 04/01/2025Life long outdoors enthusiast. Telemarker and keen road cyclist. Exploration Geophysicist for over 30 years having worked in a number of locations globally. Just enjoy sharing the mountains with like minded folk.

Repping dates: 21/12/2024 - 04/01/2025I first skied at Glenshee on a fine Scottish winter's day in 1982 and was immediately hooked. Luckily for me, during the early eighties I lived in Rome and spent many happy weekends skiing with friends in the easily accessible resorts of the Abruzzi mountains. I love Italian style, culture and language and travel there as often as I can. I have also been fortunate to live overseas in India and Egypt. For most of my career I worked as a government press officer, first at the Scottish Office and then at Energy and Trade and Industry. I am relatively new to the Ski Club of Great Britain having joined through Mountain Tracks, my favourite ski touring holiday company. I am very much looking forward to skiing with many of you over the coming seasons.
James Adam
Repping dates: 04/01/2025 - 18/01/2025I started sliding down the Cairngorm mountain at school. I loved the famous "White Lady" moguls. Changed from skis to board in the "90's" and back to skis in the "2000's". I enjoy planning ski days taking in great coffee and lunch spots. I have been known for dad dancing in ski boots!
My favourite resorts are Mayrhofen, Galtur, Obergurgl, Saalbach and Zermatt
Away from skiing I like travelling, mountain biking and swing a golf club very badly

Repping dates: 04/01/2025 - 18/01/2025Ski Club rep since 2017. I enjoy nearly all types of skiing - off and on piste, including recently amateur ski racing which is a blast. Ski touring currently not my main interest, unless to access great snow, or I’m feeling like a long walk on skis, which is rare! Other than Europe, and a little in Canada, have skied a few times in South America, which is epic, and the wine’s not too bad either. Enjoy many other sports from windsurfing to motorbikes and clay shooting, all of which I do equally badly. Look forward to skiing with you hopefully on a bluebird, powder day.

Repping dates: 18/01/2025 - 01/02/2025I completed the repping course in December 2022 having been a ski club member for around 10 years, mainly skiing in Val d'isere where I've skied with some really great people and made some good friends.I started skiing in 1986/7 when I did a season in Val d'isere working in Dicks T Bar having never skied before I turned up looking for a job followed by a season in Meribel for a tour company. I've been lucky to have skied in many resorts around Europe including Val d'isere, 3 valleys, Zermatt and La Grave being some of my favourites and are looking forward to skiing with ski club members in some new resorts. In the early 2000s me and my wife Kathryn worked for Silver Ski for 2 seasons running a chalet without ending in divorce. To keep fit I enjoy cycling both road and mountain and playing golf and walking with my cocker spaniel in and around the North Yorkshire dales and moors close to where I live.

Repping dates: 18/01/2025 - 01/02/2025I love being in the mountains, the skiing, the scenery, the light.,the atmosphere and ambiance of alpine villages. Skiing is such a fantastic sport, exhilarating and exciting and yet sociable. It can be challenging, pushing yourself to tackle that gnarly couloir, or maybe taking it easy just cruising , enjoying the view and thinking about that lovely lunch spot. My skiing experience is enhanced by sharing with like minded and passionate Ski club members.
For many years I was a ski club member before I became a leader. I really get a kick out of meeting new people and old friends and sharing the fun. My favourite resort is Zermatt. It has everything, the only downside being the expense. Outside of skiing I enjoy photography, golf , dancing, classic cars and motorbikes. For a crust I run a residential property company. I really look forward to meeting you on the slopes.

Repping dates: 01/02/2025 - 15/02/2025I learnt to ski whilst at university with the OTC and still remember the buzz of learning the most amazing sport, which has become a major passion in my life. I did my instructor’s course in the Army and also a few winters in Norway learning military skiing and arctic survival. Since leaving, I’ve done my Canadian Alpine Level 2 and am currently training for BASI Level 3. I’ve also surprised myself by instructing on school ski trips in Italy, Switzerland and Austria and actually enjoying it!
I love skiing on piste or off piste - it’s a particular thrill to ski the whole mountain and be able to get away from the herd. In the ski season I’m based near Morzine and also for some of the summer, when I’m still daft enough to mountain bike.
It’s a joy for me to share my passion for skiing with others and I love meeting new people. I’m looking forward to skiing with you.
Rob George
Repping dates: 01/02/2025 - 15/02/2025I have been skiing for over 40 years and still enjoying this marvellous Alpine Sport. I have skied in various places over the world from Obertsdorf and Garmisch in Bavaria to the Monashees in BC Canada. As a PhysEd graduate and a former member of HM Forces I have enjoyed instructing, guiding and participating in alpine racing when I was a good deal younger and some ski touring in Norway which involved a night's snow-holing!! I enjoy the mountains and the ski resort atmosphere and look forward to the 2023 season. I will be repping in Zermatt 14-29 Jan 23 with Dave Davenport. We both look forward to meeting and skiing with Ski Club members in resort.

He also ventures to the Aosta valley most seasons to ski in Cervinia and Zermatt. Tom is originally from Glasgow, and currently resides in Cambridge, UK.
Alexandra Barnes
Repping dates: 01/03/2025 - 15/03/2025Hey I’m Alex! I have been skiing since the age of 3 and I love everything about it! I am outgoing and sociable and I love having fun, especially while skiing. Combining my passion for skiing with the opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts I am excited to share tips, guide adventures and create unforgettable memories on and off the slopes
David Baker
Repping dates: 01/03/2025 - 15/03/2025Skiing has been my passion since being introduced to the sport in Andermatt at the age of 3. I have been a Ski Club "rep" since the 70's skiing in so many different places both as a Freshtracks and a resort rep. I love skiing off-piste when I can but just being on snow with others who enjoy the mountains, preferably in the sun, is fine by me. After skiing I head back to a fairly busy retired life on the Isle of Arran
Alan Lyons
Repping dates: 15/03/2025 - 29/03/2025Alan loves most sporting activities but currently actively participates in running, cycling, sailing, flow boarding (coming 4th in the Masters category at the European Championships), indoor skydiving and, of course, snowsports. He enjoys both Alpine and Telemark skiing as well as snowboarding including participating in ski racing, snowboard freestyle and ski touring. However he especially looks forward to skiing alongside SCGB members due to the shared passion and common determination to have a great time!

Repping dates: 15/03/2025 - 29/03/2025Doesn't look like it's ever going to snow in Bondi where I live and my skis are useless on sand and surf so I best keep coming back to Europe as there is nothing I enjoy more than skiing! I joined the club on a ski & spa Freshtracks holiday in Kitzbuhel in 2004 and boy am I glad I did. I have done some amazing skiing in spectacular places with so many great members over the years and am truly delighted to be able to return the favour and now lead members on Freshtracks holidays and resorts. I've enjoyed skiing in many resorts around the world and you will find me heading to Zermatt at every opportunity, ideally heli-skiing followed by a gourmet chow-down, laughing about the adventures just had in good company. Looking forward to skiing with you and having fun.
Mike Davies
Repping dates: 29/03/2025 - 12/04/2025Having wandered the world with a backpack for several years in my 20's, I found myself staying with friends in the French Alps one winter with nothing much planned and simply fell in love with everything about the skiing lifestyle. Doing everything I could to prolong the visit, including washing thousands of pans, shovelling tonnes of snow and living in a broom cupboard! I realised I was hooked.
Alas, real life intervened and back to Blighty to pursue a career in IT, with skiing trips a much longed-for highlight. A lovely Freshtracks week with an awesome Ski Club Rep and local guide persuaded me to have a go at the Rep. course myself and, well, here I am! I am keen on most mountain sports, but apart from skiing I love to hike, canoe, paraglide, climb Via Ferrata, and ride my bikes - both pedal and powered.
Edward Killwick
Repping dates: 29/03/2025 - 12/04/2025I learnt to ski in Snowdonia. I love meeting new people and helping them get the most of their ski holiday. I spent as much time as possible in the mountains in winter and summer.
