I have skied in Zermatt, Verbier, Chourchevel, Meribel and Gstaad is in my opinion the nicest. If you want to hardcore party cheaply this isn't the resort for you. If you want extensive beautiful varied skiing Gstaad is better. If you like hooning it from the top of the mountain down packed paths shouting to your mates all the way as you dodge inexperienced skiers - Gstaad is not for you. Zermatt does have very nice views of the Matterhorn.
