Today, Zermatt is one of the top ski resorts in Europe, if not the world, but how did it all begin? Has Zermatt always been a popular ski destination for the rich and famous, or has this only developed in recent times? Having visited the resort for the first time earlier this year and as I spend most days talking about the resort’s various chalets, I thought it would be interesting to look back in time and find out how Zermatt gained its international reputation.
