Data-driven design is the key to better UX!

No doubt

Moving away from intuition towards targeted, strategic action, Zermatt Bergbahnen AG had a clear directive: Any optimizations to their website had to be data-driven. Their aim was to create a site that is not only fast and user-centric but also integrates the web store seamlessly with its content, making it both easy to navigate and visually appealing.

The outcome is nothing short of remarkable: The improvements to the online store had a dramatic effect, with a booking increase of +23 percent during the last winter season (from 1 November 2023 to 9 March 2024).

A web store that offers total transparency

In Zermatt’s new online store, it’s easy to get an overview of all the various ticket options. And with the dynamic pricing model, prices have now become fully transparent. A calendar view displays how prices evolve based on factors like capacity, season, and more – a premium service for early bookers.

The ticket you want with just a few clicks

After choosing a ticket, customers can configure it based on their personal preferences, including selecting convenient add-ons and insurance. Registered users can also save details of fellow travelers and existing keycards in their online accounts, streamlining the booking process. This frees up time for inspiration – and, of course, anticipation!

Speaking of customer accounts: Personal data can be reviewed at any time in a dedicated section, and an overview of the order history makes future booking processes even easier.

Multi-cart convenience

The online store offers an impressively wide range of products, which made it essential to incorporate a convenient multi-shopping cart feature. Tickets, merch, and more are neatly categorized in the cart, allowing users to easily keep track of their potential purchases.
