Swiss Activities Tip

If you spend several days in Zermatt, you can experience a special spectacle at sunrise. Go to the church steps in Zermatt and enjoy the view of the Matterhorn. The sun first appears at the top of the Matterhorn. Afterwards, it looks like it is moving down the east face of the Matterhorn.
