Zermatt is a car-free village at the head of a Valais side valley, directly below the Matterhorn's north face. Trains from Täsch are the only way in, and from the village three lift systems rise to glacier level and to the Gornergrat viewing railway. Hiking, glacier skiing and mountaineering all run from the same base.
