St. Niklaus

St. Niklaus

St. Niklaus is nestled in the Mattertal mountain panorama at 1120m altitude. No wonder that it is known for its pioneering mountain guides. Just a stone’s throw from the big destinations of Zermatt and Saas-Fee lies the mountain and industrial village of St. Niklaus. The world’s biggest Father Christmas towers over the village at Christmas and the Alpine Guide Museum presents the history of alpinism. In Switzerland’s deepest valley, direct access to beautiful nature and the majestic mountain scenery makes many varied hikes and mountain bike tours possible.
