Toy & Ross ski trip to Zermatt

Written by Ross a Skier from Brookvale, NSW. Australia

Dear Miranda: We are just back from our holiday, booked through you, principally to Zermatt skiing. Zematt was fabulous and we just loved skiing there, as well as over the hill in Italy. The Hotle Sonne that you booked us into was just excellent. The family running it were always there, but the staff did leave you alone too. It was a wonderful balance. The food was just great. Please feel free to pass on to other Travelplan staff & management our comments, and both Toy and I would be happy if you wanted to quote our comments.

Thank you for your own efficiency, too in all of the booking processes.

Not cheap

Written by Mark a Skier from Melbourne, Australia

Hotel was veery good although it was too expensive to eat in. Most restaurants were very expensive , especially for kids .Ski terrain is excellent but when you finish skiing you have to get a taxi ( sometimes a 30 minute wait ) or an overcrowded bus to the central squre , then walk.Ski school for children was very poor . They have many small ski schools , so the groups were too diverse in skiing ability.

There are few places to match Zermatt for its combination of excellent, extensive, advanced and intermediate skiing, reliable snow, car-free Alpine-village charm and superb mountain restaurants. Topped with magnificent scenery, Zermatt enjoys some of the most spectacular skiing in the Alps.
