Zermatt
This Swiss city is a little more on the radar of tourists than Crans-Montana is, so it’s usually full of Americans in the summer, but it’s nonetheless a gorgeous city.
From town, you can take a tram up the Matterhorn, something that I highly recommend. For casual hikers like me, I recommend taking the first tram up in the morning and then hiking down the Matterhorn back into town: it’s a great workout and makes getting a beer at lunch in Zermatt feel that much more satisfying.
