What makes a good sunset in Zermatt?
Zermatt is dominated by the Matterhorn, which is one of the most recognizable mountain silhouettes in the world. At sunset, the peak catches alpenglow and turns orange before fading through pink to grey. The Riffelberg and Gornergrat give elevated angles with the Matterhorn to the northwest. The valley sits deep, so the sun drops behind the ridgeline before official sunset time: GoldCast accounts for horizon angle, but plan to shoot earlier than you'd expect. Riffelsee lake, when it's calm, gives you a reflection shot that photographers line up for.
What time is sunset in Zermatt tonight?
Zermatt sunset ranges from around 4:30 PM in December to 9:15 PM in June. Due to the deep valley, direct light leaves the town before official sunset. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
