We love @cervozermatt in Zermatt for the ultimate ski-in, ski-out experience paired with the best après-ski scene in town. The terrace offers jaw-dropping views of the Matterhorn, great music, and a vibe so good you’ll wonder why you even bothered skiing in the first place. Kick off your boots, sip a mulled wine, and let the day’s triumphs (or wipeouts) fade into the background.
