Highlights

Location: Car-free village of Zermatt for easy access to trails

Rooms: Individually designed rooms with Matterhorn views

Wellness: Spa services starting from CHF 20

Dining: Exclusive on-site meals and organic garden produce

Package: Exploring Unlimited for guided hiking experiences

“In my opinion, this hotel, set in Zermatt's car-free zone, distinguishes itself with Matterhorn views that many properties can't match. The individually designed rooms and on-site wellness offerings add to the experience, and the breakfast, in my view, is a standout perk. I think its location strikes a fine balance: close to the village center and ski lifts, yet peacefully removed.”
