Beyond the slopes, Zermatt itself adds to the appeal: a charming, car-free Swiss village with cozy après-ski spots, world-class dining, and stunning panoramic views at every turn.

What’s included in the Zermatt Ski Pass?
Included with the Zermatt ski pass:
Zermatt’s standard ski pass covers the core Swiss ski area sectors – Sunnegga-Blauherd-Rothorn, Gornergrat, and the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise – giving you access to all of the main terrain around Zermatt. If you want to ski over to Cervinia and Valtournenche on the Italian side, you’ll need to upgrade to the International ski pass or pay a day-by-day add-on for Italian access.
The standard Zermatt ski pass lets you ride all lifts and gondolas on the Swiss side of the resort – that includes the high-altitude Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, extensive intermediate and advanced terrain, family-friendly areas like Sunnegga, and scenic rides up to Gornergrat.
There are multiple ski pass options:
- Swiss-only pass: good for all skiing on the Zermatt/Matterhorn side.
- International pass: includes Swiss terrain plus access to Cervinia and Valtournenche in Italy, which significantly increases the total skiable area.
Cheaper options exist. You can buy passes just for the core Zermatt area if you don’t plan to ski in Italy, and in some cases you can add Italian access for selected days rather than committing to the full international pass.
