Zermatt's Theodul Glacier
(3820m) kicks off its summer ski season June 26.
There are 13 runs (20
kilometres) on the glacier, most of them red and blue, and
the pistes are served by seven drag lifts. Advanced skiers
can test their ability on the racing tracks and moguls. The
Gravity Snowboard Park boasts a superpipe, kicker park, and
rail park. It is the Theodul that connects Zermatt with
Cervinia in Italy. The entire area, which was open when I
visited in May is served by the highest cable car in Europe,
the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise cable car. Summer skiing
operates from 7 'til 2 so get there early and get a head
start. |
