Zermatt
Car-free, under the most recognisable mountain in Europe.
Zermatt has no cars, one mountain that everyone comes for, and the highest cable car station in Europe at Matterhorn Glacier Paradise. The Gornergrat railway is the view; Zmutt, a hamlet up the valley, is what the place looked like before any of it.
