http://www.ayersrockresort.com.au/arrcamp/xlink23/pricing-0809/ pretty much represents a direct price comparison to Zermatt, principally because the marketing promotion value would carry about the same emphasis. I certainly look at that and think "I doubt I'd pay that kind of price to tent it at that tourist trap in the middle of the desert". Similar to most countries, CH is like a route close to your limit - for the onsight you have to deploy a little cunning and determination.
