Zermatt Blacknose Sheep – The Cutest Locals in the Alps

📝 Summary Review:

The Valais Blacknose Sheep are one of Zermatt’s most beloved attractions—fluffy, curly-coated mountain sheep known for their black faces, ears, and knees, and their gentle, friendly nature. Originally from the canton of Valais, they’ve become a symbol of alpine charm and a must-see for visitors.

In Zermatt, you can see them grazing in scenic pastures during summer or meet them up close during guided walks and special farm experiences. These sheep are highly social and approachable, making them a hit with kids, hikers, and photographers alike. If you’re lucky, you might spot them with the Matterhorn as their stunning backdrop.
