My sister and I want to visit Zermatt and round about the Matterhorn, but don't want to do a package holiday. There used to be travel agents who would put together a custom built holiday, but they all seem to have gone. Does anyone know of any companies/people who still do this ?

    Why a custom built holiday ?

    If it were me I would go DIY, book the flights and hotel and visit Zermatt and the Matterhorn yourself, you might find there's someone doing tours of Matterhorn.

    Any decent agent that holds an Atol will still tailor make a package holiday for you. If you don't want a holiday with package regs protection you may as well just book it all yourself. Flights direct with the airline and accommodation direct with the hotels.

    I did this a few years ago. Easy enough to arrange transport to Zermatt and book a place there (check out https://www.interhome.ch). The tourist infrastructure is so well developed that more or less anything can be arranged if you can pay the going rate for it -- and while Switzerland is expensive, it is almost free from rip-offs.
