Never again skiing in Zermatt before Christmas! While the Austrians open all their lifts in the morning, whether it is snowing, storming or foggy, the people of Zermatt first open a small part of their lifts. If you are lucky, one or two are added in the afternoon, if you are unlucky, none at all. So it was with us in four days we were there from 09 to 12.12.2021. With us on Zermatt side on all four days only 15 lifts of 54 were open. Also, if it was windy at the pass to Italy, one could have opened more lifts and departures on Zermatter side in the lee, in order not to annoy the guests (e. g. the slopes from Riffelberg to Furi and from Riffelberg to the Riffelalp, etc.) And then the price you have to shell out for 4 days: 316 € for 15 open lifts in Zermatt. For comparison in the same period 08 to 12 Dec: 189 € for 31 open lifts in Ischgl. I was so far in the Kaunertal, Ischgl, Kappl, Galtür, Ötztal, Zillertal, Kitzbühl, Warth-Schröcken, Damüls and Oberstdorf to ski. Everywhere they open all the lifts in the morning. If it is very windy, one or the other gondola is stopped briefly until the gust has subsided. But Zermatt is quite different, they open only a few lifts in the morning and then wait to see how full the lifts are. Such a thing is not possible in a place with such a reputation! Besides, if they were honest, they would admit that the range of slopes is only from blue to light red, there is not a single challenge for good skiers. Since the people of Zermatt are so uppity, they also have zero complaint management. I had complained twice to the CEO and the marketing manager, but there was no response at all. So much for Zermatt, there the rich are more important than the rest of the people!
