Snowshoe hiking by night, a fondue party, hot and ice-cold wellness. To simply live and dream like the Eskimos.

Piste preparation "live"
«Snow-covered slopes, endless vastness in the moonlight, all on my own, far away from any civilisation, only able to reach my colleagues by radio and the 430 hp snowcat as my companion».


Tour of the artificial snow system
In Zermatt, more than 60 % of all the pistes are covered with artificial snow or are situated on glaciers. How does the artificial snow system work? How much water and energy are required and where does all the water come from? You will find answers to these and other questions on a guided tour of the Zermatt artificial snow system. A look behind the scenes is always worthwhile and provides some interesting figures.
