What a great set of photos you have there. That pic of the lunch menu and the food with the Matterhorn in the background is simply amazing. Just out of interest what do you do for a living to be out there? Also make good use of the weather whilst it lasts, here is the snow report for the next 6 days, better get those skis out for a few early turns i think!!! http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Zermatt/6day/top

Mr Technique, i think im going to have to go here this year. Looks amazing. Im doing 2, 4 day trips instead of a long week. So im thinking off to Alpe D Huez in Feb, not in half term, and then Zermatt in march time. Would this be a good time to head out there? If not when would you recommend?

Probably by March there'll be even more.

Zermatt it is then!!! Will go alpe d huez first as it's got south facing slopes and the snow goes a bit crappy late on it the season. Then head to Zermatt in march time. I remember about 2 years ago on the last week of lifts open. Zermatt hot about 150cm of snow!!!

twoodwar, My first visit to Zermatt was during the summer on a trip to the Italian Lakes and we did a day trip in June. It was before I started skiing but I was fascinated by people going up the lift with skis in summer.
When I started skiing it was always one of the places I had as a must do. It can be expensive but there are ways of getting a cheaper deal. The North Wall bar do cheap pizzas and beer for instance.
One other piece of advice, when I went the first time we had a full lift pass covering Cervinia, but in reality we couldn't get over there much due to high winds which shut the top lifts which access Cervinia. You can get a daily upgrade to the pass if want to go over to Cervinia and as there is so much skiing in Zermatt, I would go for the Zermatt lift pass.

geepee, my pleasure. I second your suggestion of Zum See and Hennustall. Also a fan of Chalet Etoile on the Cervinia side.
For a resort with probably the best mountain restaurants anywhere I've not had great luck with the ones in town. We're going back for a weekend in December. Any suggestions?
Ricklovesthepowder, don't rule out mid or late April. You can probably get a better deal on accommodation and it's perfect for long sunny lunches at the great mountain restaurants.

Since nobody's mentioned it, the Fluhalp is also great.
BobinCH, Olympia Stuebli? Bit of a trek up from the village, you could always just stay on apres the apres.
