Zermatt sits at 1,620 metres in the Swiss canton of Valais and is one of the few car-free resorts in the Alps, which keeps the village centre quiet and walkable. Hotel Derby sits in the heart of the resort, placing guests within a short walk of the main lift connections into the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise ski area — one of the largest and highest lift-served networks in Europe, with skiing available year-round on the upper glacier. The village's main street, the Bahnhofstrasse, with its concentration of restaurants, specialist ski shops, and après-ski bars, is immediately accessible. Zermatt is reached by the Glacier Express rail connection or via Täsch, where cars must be left and an electric shuttle taken into the resort. Transfer and flight packages are available through the property.

Ski beneath the iconic Matterhorn in a world-class, car-free alpine village.
Zermatt is arguably one of the most famous ski resorts in the world, dominated by the majestic silhouette of the Matterhorn. Located in the Swiss canton of Valais, this car-free village perfectly balances traditional alpine charm with state-of-the-art luxury and infrastructure. Visitors stroll along snowy streets lined with historic chalets, high-end boutiques, and world-class dining establishments. The resort offers an unparalleled ski experience with access to 360km of connected pistes, spanning across the Swiss-Italian border to Cervinia. Thanks to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, the highest cable car station in Europe at 3,883m, Zermatt guarantees year-round skiing. The terrain caters beautifully to intermediates, advanced skiers, and freeride enthusiasts, though beginners also have dedicated sunny zones like Sunnegga. Beyond the slopes, Zermatt's culinary scene is globally renowned, boasting the highest concentration of gourmet on-mountain restaurants in the Alps. The vibrant but sophisticated après-ski scene, combined with spectacular mountain scenery and reliable snow, makes Zermatt the ultimate bucket-list destination for winter sports enthusiasts.
