I have read many glowing reports about Zermatt, focussing on the quality of the pistes, the scenery and the lift systems. Whilst I really enjoyed skiing here a couple of downsides are not mentioned. First, it takes a long time to access the pistes via bus and then lift system can take up to an hour. If you are an average intermediate then skiing back to resort is not an option so the runs are heavily limited. Secondly, in early season until end Jan the lifts close around 3.30 pm, which means a short day, making catching the last lift to the top a real necessity. I would recommend it with these caveats but go with open eyes so as not to be short changed.
