Curator's Note
Zermatt is one of the last places in the Alps where the mountain still comes first. No cars are allowed in the village, the Matterhorn dominates every sightline, and the skiing connects through to Cervinia on the Italian side. The town itself is small enough to walk end to end in fifteen minutes, yet holds more Michelin stars per capita than almost anywhere in Switzerland.
