This extraordinary alpine region comes alive throughout the year, with the village of Zermatt thrumming with people who live for the outdoors. Skiers in winter, hikers, cyclists and trail runners in summer, they're here for what their sport gives back to them, for how it makes them come alive. For others, it's about simply being in the open air, taking the time to stroll, sit, and reflect.

The Matt valley plays host to around 360 kilometres of impeccable ski runs. Sitting astride the Swiss/Italian border, there's a distinct international dimension, and thanks to the elevation, it's possible to ski 365 days a year.

All the while, you carve to a jaw-dropping backdrop. And the spectacular slopes are for everyone, from beginners to advanced. Bringing you back home at the end of the day is the world's longest descent – 25 kilometres of linked pistes from the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise station back down to Zermatt.

Nothing beats the exhilaration when it's just you and your bike and the terrain passing under your wheels. Here, kilometre after kilometre of trails wind up and down the Alps, offering routes for all abilities accompanied by spectacular views.

The chairlifts that in winter transport skiers carry riders and their bikes in summer, dropping you off at the start of some of the most breathtaking downhill. You can even take the train to the top of the Gornergrat for a ride back down that belongs firmly in the category of epic.
