How would you do it?

This will be my first time in Zermatt. Assume that you have a guest for the weekend and you want him to experience as much of the skiing there as possible, given just one Saturday and one Sunday.

All of my skiing (except for a couple of days at the top of Les Montets in early season last year) has been in the US and Canada - so the European experience is what I am looking for. For my ski level, I can ski any piste, and most off-pistes (but no climbing or hiking please!). I have never skiied into a village for lunch, for example.

I am staying at Hotel Perren, and plan on hiring equipement from Flexrent (thanks to SwingBeep's advice)

So how would you do it?

Look at your piste map break the runs down into sections you want to ski for that day, and come back at end of your hol's and ski the best bits :thumbup:

If the weather's ok, have a go at the Matterhorn ski safari on Saturday

Then on Sunday cruise the area you liked the most on Saturday, and have a leisurely lunch in one of the small mountain restaurants http://www.zermatt.ch/en/page.cfm/your_stay/gastronomy/mountain_restaurant

Fingers crossed for sunshine & powder.

Ski Stockhorn! This is definitely the best run in Zermatt.
