Zermatt — the car-free Alpine village beneath the Matterhorn — offers classic mountain vistas, alpine architecture, glacial lakes (Riffelsee), and dramatic ridgelines. Best at sunrise and sunset for warm side-light on the Matterhorn; winter offers crisp snow contrast, summer yields wildflowers and reflections. Accessible by train from Täsch (park there); no vehicles in town. Narrow streets and busy viewpoints can be crowded mid-day; early mornings and late evenings are calm. Weather changes fast
