What is the 10‑day and longer outlook?

Is it safe to hike in Zermatt in summer?

Yes, but check the live forecast and webcams before you start. Thunderstorms develop rapidly after noon. Stick to marked trails, carry rain gear, and start early to avoid lightning risk above the treeline.

What should I pack for a winter trip?

Layers, a waterproof jacket, and good gloves are essential. The village is often milder than the slopes, but wind chill can make -10 °C feel much colder. Sunscreen and sunglasses are needed – the sun reflects strongly off snow.

Can I see the Matterhorn from the village?

Yes, when the cloud base is above the peak. Use the live forecast and webcams to check visibility. Best views are early morning or late afternoon. Cloud often builds from midday, especially in summer.
