SWISS
HOLIDAYS
If it’s your first time riding in the Alps then we offer a huge range of
trails to build up your confidence and skills in this very different environment
to British riding. We choose trails that will get you used to the exposure and
the altitude, before then introducing all the Alps have to offer in terms of
gradients.
We time this progression with the ability of the riders and will only ever
show the trails that will suit you and help you get the most out of your stay
and make it a natural progression that your skills will improve.
Our guides are CTC trained, 1st aid qualified and are experts on riding and the area. You will feel the passion they have for the sport and the
determination to make your holiday and rides the very best.
We have a great selection of novice trails to get you going and develop your skills and stamina. The lifts still run so don’t worry about too much uphill either!
The resort lies at 1,620m and our riding goes up to 3,100m with great trails and scenery.
Zermatt has some wide sweeping trails to build your confidence and we have some excellent bikes for you to rent if you need to. We will really get you into (or back into) mountain biking!
As a village, Zermatt has it all. Based at 1,620m it has the most iconic
mountain in the world as a backdrop, a massive, high-altitude international ski area, some of the best mountain restaurants in the world and a traditional Swiss chocolate-box feel. Car-free Zermatt boasts the name of one of the best resorts in the world and delivers in every respect.
The village has a mix of rustic old wooden Stadels and Grand Luxury hotels. The main street is fully traffic free, except the occasional horse drawn carriage and is packed with lively bars, restaurants and shops. At any time of the day, there’s an amazing atmosphere across the entire resort.
On your day off, why not try summer skiing? Zermatt boasts the largest summer ski area in the Alps – you can ski here every day of the year!
We also have a huge range of other activities awaiting you.
Just about everything you could ask for!
We include Cross-Channel Ferries for those who are self driving or Airport Transfers for those flying, so you can choose the best option that
suits you.
Zermatt is a car-free resort; this however does not mean that getting around or to and from the resort is difficult. The trains travel straight into the resort centre and then electric taxis can move you around the resort itself. There is even a free electric ski bus to get you to the lifts. If you are driving to the resort, it’s still easy. Simply park your car at the village of Täsch and then take the 10 minute shuttle train straight into the resort centre.
