Overview

The historic Monte Rosa has been a star of the Zermatt hotel scene since it opened in 1853. They’ve kept things traditional and there’s an authentic look from top to bottom, with exposed beams, stone walls and antique furniture dotted here and there.

After a day on the slopes, enjoy an après tipple in Edward’s Bar, which was named in honour of Edward Whymper (the first person to climb the Matterhorn) who stayed at the hotel. Guests are welcome to access spa facilities at the nearby hotel Mont Cervin Palace which include a huge indoor pool and spa.

You’ll be staying bed and breakfast here, and there’s a hot and cold buffet spread to set you up for the day. Come dinner, from Monte Rosa you can easily head out to explore Zermatt's many excellent restaurants.

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.
