The Perfect 10 Day Switzerland Itinerary

Nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps, Zermatt stands as a testament to the breathtaking beauty that Switzerland is renowned for. For any adventurer, Switzerland is a must visit and Zermatt is one my personal favorite places in Switzerland. This charming mountain village, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and the iconic Matterhorn towering majestically above, offers a captivating blend of natural wonders, alpine adventures, and unparalleled hospitality. 🏔️

ZERMATT | Budget & Luxury 🇨🇭

Chez Vrony

Chez Vrony is a luxury Apres ski and restaurant on the mountain. The outdoor seating offers an incredible view of the Matterhorn and is one of my top recommendations. 

It is ski in/out and can be reached from Sunnegga to Findeln. For non-skiers, it can be reached by taking the Sunnegga Express and hiking down 30 minutes.

I recommend booking a reservation in advance. It will book up 1-2 months out.

Stunning view of the Matterhorn! Such a posh vibe as well.

Would recommend making a reservation a head of time

Not as good of food as Findlerhof but more of an instagram vibe. fur, rose, and great views!
