Overview

The Hotel Butterfly enjoys a fantastic central location in the heart of Zermatt, just a three-minute walk from the Gornergrat railway for easy access to the slopes. The village's lively cafés, bars and boutiques are all close by, yet the hotel offers a peaceful retreat when it's time to relax. Skiers will also appreciate the heated boot room, ensuring your equipment is warm and ready for another day on the mountain.

Inside, the hotel has a welcoming Alpine feel, with timber furnishings, cosy corners and plenty of character. Comfortable rooms provide a relaxing place to unwind, while many feature private balconies with spectacular views of the Matterhorn. Later in the day, settle into the inviting bar for a drink, where the resident pianist often provides the soundtrack to a relaxing evening.

Dining is a highlight too. Each morning begins with a generous buffet breakfast featuring freshly baked breads, pastries and other local favourites. After skiing, complimentary afternoon tea and homemade cakes are served from 4pm to 5.30pm, offering the perfect pick-me-up. In the evening, enjoy hearty Alpine specialities such as rösti and slow-cooked stews – ideal for refuelling after a day in the snow.

About Zermatt

Zermatt skiing

Zermatt, according to some reporters, is as near as anywhere to perfection, so long as you are an intermediate or advanced skier. With vast and varied skiing that extends via a link with Cervinia into Italy, along with awesome scenery, Zermatt really is a great resort. Let's be honest, there are better choices for complete beginners, but Zermatt DOES have beginners' slopes and a very good ski school, so don't believe those who will try telling you it's not possible to learn to ski here.

The more experienced skiers will love the 400+km of pistes and complete snow guarantee that comes with the high altitude. The Klein Matterhorn cable car is Europe's highest ski lift station at 3,820m. Ski over into Italy for a cruise around Cervinia's well maintained slopes, before heading back to the Hennustall for an apres ski beer or three!

Zermatt ski resort

With amazing restaurants both on and off the mountain, a beautiful town that is traffic free apart from the electric taxis and great nightlife to suit all tastes, life down in resort isn't too shabby either. The traffic free village is a joy to stroll around and there is high end shopping, drinking and eating to suit all! Whisper it, Zermatt even has a McDonald's...

Accommodation in Zermatt isn't just limited to 4 and 5 star hotels, lower budgets are catered for here but, in truth, Zermatt is not a destination for the penny pincher! All around, this is Switzerland's number one resort on many levels, and another destination that any serious skier must tick off their bucket list.
