Must do as your first activity!!!
Mark was such a knowledgeable, easy going guide. Open to answering all our question and even gave us a little extra time as we were having such a good time. We learned so much about Zermatt. This is a definite must to get your trip started. Do this first so you get better acquainted with your surroundings to enjoy the town even more.
