Top Mountains in Canton of Valais

I think it's worth trying the local restaurants but watch out for tourist traps! I had a overpriced meal that didn't live up to the hype; ask locals for spots they recommend

My advice is to buy the Zermatt Mountain Ticket online. It saves you some bucks and time at the ticket booth, and you can focus more on enjoying the trams!

If you're planning on hiking, bring plenty of water and snacks. I ran out of energy on my first hike, and it dampened the experience a little. Staying fueled is key!

I suggest catching the sunrise at around 6:00 AM. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and there are fewer crowds, plus it makes for some great photos.

Take a moment to explore the village of Zermatt after your hike. There are some cute shops and local foods that are cheaper than the touristy spots by the lifts. I found some great cheese!

Make sure to catch the sunrise around 6 AM; the glow on the Matterhorn is breathtaking and way less crowded. Bring a thermos of coffee to enjoy while you wait!
