Zermatt is situated in a valley surrounded by high mountains. The Matterhorn, one of the highest peaks in the Alps, is nearby. The surrounding mountains block and redirect air masses. This affects the atmospheric pressure in Zermatt. The valley location also influences the local climate.
The mountains create a rain shadow effect. Moist air from the north is forced to rise, resulting in precipitation. This leaves drier air to reach Zermatt. The city's southern location also means it receives more sunlight than other parts of Switzerland. This contributes to a relatively dry climate.
