Vacation homes and apartments in the Matter valley
Zermatt is the place to be if you prefer a car-free town, and if you value shopping, a wide choice of restaurants and lots of transportation services into the mountains. It's a lively, touristy, pretty town.
If you prefer smaller villages, then find a rental in Täsch or one of the other smaller villages in the valley. Grächen is a very good option too, but it's up on a plateau so you need to take extra traveling time into account if you want to explore the whole valley.
