When summer comes to life in Zermatt

14.05.2026

The summer season at CERVO begins on 4 June. A summer in Zermatt can be just as impressive and special as the winter. And yes – you can even go skiing in the summer. But above all, we’d like to show you everything you can experience here away from the slopes.

The sun is high in the sky, the days are warm – perfect for enjoying lunch or dinner together on our terraces with views of the mountains.

You can also look forward to some special culinary moments. Our Swiss restaurant Ferdinand is reopening its doors and, as always, focuses on regional ingredients. At the same time, Italian and Moroccan specialities await you, taking you on a little culinary journey.

Browse through our menus and book your table – with a view you won’t forget in a hurry.

ALTO TRAIL – More than just running

This summer, with the ALTO TRAIL Club & Lab, we’re bringing a breath of fresh air to trail running at CERVO. Together with Zermatt-based professional Martin Anthamatten, we’ve created an experience for anyone who wants to explore the mountains not just for sport, but in a more mindful, peaceful and meaningful way.

For us, it’s not about setting personal bests – it’s about how we approach the journey.

For everyone who loves being outdoors

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced runner: at ALTO TRAIL, we run together. No pressure, no competition – just a focus on nature, movement and connection.

More than just a run

The concept combines four areas:

- Movement (trail running in the mountains)
- Recovery (recovery & regeneration)
- Mental focus (mindset & mindfulness)
- Community (shared experiences)

This way, every run becomes more than just sport.

Regular runs & special experiences

- Weekly runs starting directly from CERVO
- Longer group tours followed by brunch or recovery
- Retreats featuring exercise, breathwork and mindset sessions

In the “Lab”, we explore our experiences in workshops and create space for exchange, reflection and new inspiration.

ALTO TRAIL is for all of us who want to move more mindfully, at a slower pace and together – and who want to not just see the mountains, but truly feel them.

See you soon on the trail.

Summer moments at Schali Lago

Ready for Schali Lago in Täsch? With the start of the summer season on 4 June, we’re heading back to Lake Schali – a place that feels a bit like a holiday.

Look forward to relaxing by the water, delicious treats and cool drinks from the Shabby Yummy Cantina. Whether you want to improve your wakeboarding or water skiing skills or simply enjoy the sun by the lake – both are possible here.

There’s also plenty to discover around the lake: stand-up paddleboarding, a children’s playground and a pump track provide variety and fun for young and old alike.

Schali Lago is our little summer getaway by the water – perfect if you fancy a bit of a beach vibe every now and then.

We look forward to seeing you at the lake.

You can find all the information about opening times on our website.

CERVO Summer Festival 2026

Travelling Yogis

Several times a year, we welcome special guests to CERVO: our Travelling Yogis. These inspiring yoga teachers join us for a while, bringing new ideas, fresh energy and a variety of styles.

Look forward to exclusive yoga sessions and workshops – free of charge for our hotel guests.
