Wife & self heading to Zurich on Jan 22 to ski for about nine days, and Zermatt is high up on the list of potential venues.
I understand from past reading here & on Epic that the "best" skiing is off the Gornergrat area, but best is subjective of course.
My wife is now a pretty solid intermediate on/off-piste, but doesn't do well on what passes for ice in the Rockies.
Welcome any suggestions as to (1) if Zermatt is a good choice as far as the skiing for her and what parts of Z would be most suitable, and (2) other suggestions for alternatives that might be better (Saas Fee? Arosa? Laax? Lech? Ischgl?).
Also, if anyone has information on hiring guides (especially in Zermatt) or anything else skiing related, more than appreciated.
Thanks all
