The Zermatt summer ski area is one of the most extensive in Europe. The skiing is in the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise area.

In May and June, the slopes at Trockener Steg are open. There is a chairlift and, while the snow stays, a T bar lift which accesses a blue run and two red runs. From July onwards, the full summer ski area opens at the top of the Klein Matterhorn cable car. You can ski from the top of the cable car down to the ski area which has three T bars accessing red runs and the snow park for freestyle skiers. Then there are two more T bars taking you back to the top of the Klein Matterhorn cable car. If there is enough snow, you can normally ski back to Trockener Steg in July.

In general, summer skiing is an activity for the mornings only. The snow changes from firm hardpack first thing in the morning to soft and slushy in the afternoon. The lifts close at lunchtime and everyone makes their way back to the village on the lifts.
