The Matterhorn never lets you go. From the village, from the runs, from a mountain hut terrace, from the Italian side of the border, it is always there, in the same place in the landscape. That is what sets Zermatt apart and it is why people go back.
The March 12 departure gives nine days and seven nights, six of them skiing on a pass that opens both countries. The lift is a few steps from the hotel and runs to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise at 3,883 metres, the point from which the whole area is reachable, Swiss and Italian alike. The group also crosses into Italy, to Cervinia, an area with a more rustic character and a well-regarded table.
The flight leaves Montreal for Geneva with Air Canada, then the group goes up by second-class train or by coach. Steve and Stéphane travel with the group in French. Zermatt is a pedestrian village, free of cars, with wood and stone architecture that has kept its character.
The Hotel Alpenblick houses the group in the middle of the village, seven nights with breakfasts, and five of the evenings include dinner at a restaurant in Zermatt, among them the Swiss cooking at the Weisshorn. Two evenings stay free for you to choose.
