When to visit

The best time to visit Matten is during the summer months from June to August when the weather is mild and perfect for outdoor activities. However, the winter months from December to February are ideal for skiing and snowboarding in the nearby Swiss Alps. Spring and autumn offer fewer crowds and lower prices, making it a great time to explore the village at a leisurely pace.

Getting around

Matten is a small village that can easily be explored on foot, allowing visitors to take in the charming surroundings at a leisurely pace. Public transportation options such as buses and trains are also available for those looking to explore the surrounding areas. Taxis and rental cars are convenient options for traveling to nearby attractions and villages.

Traveller tips

Make sure to pack comfortable walking shoes as the village has cobblestone streets and hilly terrain. Try the local Swiss cuisine at traditional restaurants for an authentic dining experience. Don't forget to bring layers of clothing as the weather in the Swiss Alps can change quickly. Purchase a Swiss Travel Pass for unlimited access to public transportation and discounts on attractions. Be sure to check the weather forecast before planning outdoor activities to make the most of your visit. Respect the local customs and traditions, such as greeting people with a friendly 'Grüezi' (hello) and 'Danke' (thank you).
