Arranging a Trip to Zermatt
My research starts by surfing through most ski and resort websites. This year, I chose Zermatt - we've summer- hiked there twice before but never snowshoed in the winter.
Zermatt has a terrific site - information galore - trail maps, hotel listings with prices and direct links to the individual hotels if you prefer. I like to take my time and browse through each hotel's link before deciding.
Next step? Air and rail - how to get there for the least amount of money. We picked Switzerland because the Swiss Franc isn't too outrageous again the U.S. Dollar. Even though the $ has gained some ground against the Euro, some hotels in Euros countries are ridiculously expensive.
