Zermatt is as strong on après-ski and nightlife as it is on
skiing and dining.
Zermatt is as strong on après ski and nightlife as it is on
skiing and dining. Starting on the mountain, with relaxed drinks, some
music and that view: Rothorn/Sunnegga – Tuftern for sunset views,
followed by Othmar’s Hutte and the Olympic Bar (yellow canvas roof) on
the outskirts of the village – live music and barely any more to ski;
Klein Matterhorn - bars and restaurants at Furi and Zum See do brisk
end of day business.
In town the Papperla, with adjacent disco,
fills up early and stays busy. Lower key is Elsie’s bar, a small wooden
chalet near the church and the Little bar, maximum capacity of about a
dozen. Refuel along the main street with a pancake from the tiny
Creperie or a grilled sausage with bread, mustard and ketchup and a cup
of gluhwein from outside the butcher’s shop. Alternatively there are
plenty of tearooms with patisseries alongside that can meet most needs.
