About Yosemite by Transa
Yosemite by Transa is Zermatt's outpost of Switzerland's largest outdoor retailer, occupying a prominent storefront at Bahnhofstrasse 20 — just two hundred metres from the train station and perfectly positioned for visitors arriving in the car-free village. The shop combines a curated retail selection of mountaineering, skiing, and hiking gear with a professional ski and snowboard rental operation that benefits from Transa's national buying power and deep equipment expertise.
The rental programme covers alpine ski and snowboard packages across sport, performance, and premium tiers, along with ski touring setups for backcountry exploration around the Matterhorn. Boots are fitted using heat-moulding technology, and staff take time to match customers with the right flex and last for their ability level and foot shape. Beyond winter sports equipment, the shop stocks a comprehensive range of technical apparel, avalanche safety gear, climbing hardware, and accessories from leading brands — making it a one-stop outfitting destination for multi-sport adventurers visiting Zermatt year-round.
What sets Yosemite by Transa apart from Zermatt's family-run rental shops is the combination of national-scale inventory depth with local mountain knowledge. The staff are active skiers and mountaineers who know the terrain intimately, and the Transa brand's reputation for honest, expert advice carries through to every fitting and equipment recommendation. For visitors who value a modern retail environment, trusted brand partnerships, and the reassurance of dealing with Switzerland's most established outdoor specialist, Yosemite by Transa is a compelling choice.
