Light projections at the Matterhorn finished - positive effect remains

Light is hope! In this sense, Zermatt illuminated the Matterhorn daily from 24 March 2020 to 26 April 2020. The projections are over now. With the illumination of the Matterhorn, Zermatt sent a sign of hope and solidarity out into the world for five weeks during the difficult time of the coronavirus pandemic. They began in hopes of giving courage to the people. In hopes that we will soon return to our accustomed everyday life, they have finished the illuminations. The positive effect remains!

Zermatt Bergbahnen AG is investing in the future

The lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic is causing a great deal of uncertainty and reduced sales for almost every industry in Switzerland. Instead of falling into a state of shock, the Zermatt Bergbahnen AG (ZBAG) concentrates on the time “when this is all over”. Despite the difficult starting position, the Board of Directors has decided to make the major investments of around 60 million Swiss francs over the next two years as planned. The additional financing provided by the banks also contributes to this decision. As soon as the weather conditions allow and no further official decisions relating to the coronavirus prevent construction work from taking place, ZBAG will commence the task of building the new Kumme gondola lift and continue work on the Matterhorn glacier ride II 3S cableway project.

New defibrillator at the BP petrol station / Taxi Christophe in Täsch

As of now, an AED, an Automated External Defibrillator, is available around the clock. It is located to the left of our check-in entrance, right next to the blue key box. After a cardiac arrest, every second counts. Every day, 22 people in Switzerland suffer a cardiovascular arrest. In this situation, a defibrillator can save lives. With clear pictograms and voice instructions, the defibrillator guides specialist users and laypersons safely through optimal and guideline-based resuscitation.

Let us take you to the Täschalp

The cows grazing at Täschalp produce milk that is made into cheese on the spot. Nature lovers admire the variety of grasses, lichens and alpine flowers. As the path proceeds, it reveals ever more dramatic views. Up at the Täsch hut, hikers meet mountaineers who have set their sights high: on the Alphubel, Täschhorn and other 4,000-metre peaks.

The route from the Täschalp to Tufteren is one of the most beautiful hikes, high above the Matter valley. This section of the Europaweg has stunning views, running along the edge of the forest. After a 20-minute walk from the Täschalp, you’re rewarded with a view of the Matterhorn and the most fantastic panorama.
