Perched at an altitude of 1,449 meters, the village of Täsch has a population of around 1,000. It is located 6 km from Zermatt, a tourist destination famous worldwide for its majestic emblem, the Matterhorn. Täsch symbolizes the gateway to the grandiose and fascinating world of the Swiss mountains par excellence. Travelers leave their cars in the parking lots and then take the shuttle train to Zermatt, a 15-minute ride.
But Täsch also offers great opportunities for sports and relaxation. In summer, mountaineers start their high-altitude hikes in the Mischabel massif here. In winter, the village invites cross-country skiers to glide along its 15 km of trails. Its intimate and friendly atmosphere and its high-quality 3-star hotels provide the ideal holiday setting for families. Traditional Valais houses, barns, granaries, and old stables dominate the village of Täsch. The history of the village can be brought to life on a walk through the village. A brochure about visiting the village is available at the tourist office.
