On the border between Switzerland and Italy, the Matterhorn towers 14,692 feet (4,478 meters) above the Swiss village of Zermatt in the canton of Valais. Dozens of other 4,000-meter peaks make up a majestic mountain panorama. Skiing dominates winter in the Valais; when the snow melts, hiking, mountain biking and golf return. The Valais is also the most extensive wine-producing region in Switzerland, and several wine trails crisscross the area’s vineyards. The resort of Zermatt is a car-free zone with a quaint Old World atmosphere.
