About Love Zermatt
Who writes Love Zermatt, why it exists, and how an independent editorial field guide to the car-free Matterhorn village is put together.
- ✓Love Zermatt is an independent editorial field guide to the car-free Matterhorn village — not affiliated with the commune, the cantons of Valais, or any lift company or tourism board.
- ✓Every guide is read by altitude and checked on the ground: the cog to Gornergrat at 3,089 m, the Five Lakes loop, the lift status before a windy day on the glacier.
- ✓We earn no commission and run no affiliate links — there is nothing to buy here, and every recommendation is editorial.
An independent field guide, read by altitude
Love Zermatt is an editorial field guide to Zermatt, Switzerland — the Horu standing 4,478 m above a village at 1,608 m, the 1898 Gornergrat cog, the Five Lakes Walk and the Stellisee reflection, the three ski sectors and the Cervinia crossing into Italy. We write the valley the way you actually experience it: not by street address but by station height on the Höhenleiter, with one eye always on the weather and the lift board.
We are independent. We are not affiliated with the Gemeinde Zermatt, Zermatt Tourism, Zermatt Bergbahnen, the Gornergrat Bahn or any hotel, restaurant or guide we write about, and we take no commission on anything we recommend. When a detail can change between visits — a timetable, a pass price, whether the top is open — we link the official source so you can confirm it yourself before you ride.
Who writes it
Guides are written and edited by Marek Vytautas, field editor, and the Love Zermatt editorial desk. Love Zermatt's editorial desk — alpine travel writers who walk the trails, ride the lifts and check the timetables on the ground in the Matterhorn valley before anything is published.
If something here is out of date — a changed shuttle time, a closed terrace at Findeln, a renamed lift — or you know a quiet corner of the valley we have missed, we would genuinely like to hear it.
