Planning on going from Thursday to Sunday to get the last snow. We are a ski beginner and advanced snowboarder? Never been to Zermatt. Will drive all the way from Belgium, so we want to make sure Zermatt is the right choice for this week. Any tips? Thanks!!!

I was afraid of that? Do you have any other suggestion for a different resort with good conditions this week? Thanks

Look at high resorts the lower ones are closing or closed, my advice would be to select a resort then review the local tourist board website , take plenty of T shirts 8) 8)

I have to say, I went there for three days in March this year and didn't find it any more expensive than France as long as you were a bit careful

Here's a sample taxi price. My Hotel had agreed in advance to collect me from the station in November. When I arrived and phoned them, they said I should get a taxi instead.

Price for 600 metres 12chf.

I have been in September and November. The lifts should be open in late May, but check the website for the exact dates as there is a short closure period during May.
