The municipality is located in the Visp district, in the Mattertal valley, which contains almost all the highest peaks in the Alps such as Monte Rosa, Dom and Weisshorn.
The 4,490 m (14,730 ft) high Taschhorn lies directly above the village. It consists of the village of Tasch and the hamlets of Zermettjen and Taschberg as well as the Taschalp hiking region.
Zermatt is a car-free town at the end of the valley, so the only connection is the frequent train shuttle from Tasch railway station. Car drivers can park their cars at Tasch and continue to Zermatt by train.
