My husband and I traveled with our 2 daughters, 17 and 19, to Switzerland for 10 days. Our first stop was Zermott for 2 nights. We decided to go with a private guide because one of us was recovering from foot surgery and we wanted the option of going slower and having a more tailored experience.
I cannot say enough great things about our guide, Cedric! Starting with wanting to head out early to beat the crowds, he was able to give us tons of information as we walked through Zermot to the first gondola stop. Cedric helped us navigate the gondola ticket purchase, etc. He had tons of helpful tips such as the "free" bathrooms (the ones up top you had to pay for...no sewage), where the best hiking was, the history of the little towns we saw, and the local wildlife. No bears, very few wolves, no turtles. He was very knowledgeable of all the peaks at the top of Klein Matterhorn and where to take the best pics. Also, he was able to provide recommendations places for food, gear, etc.
I would definitely hire Cedric if it's your first time to Zermott. Worth it!
