Overview

If you’re after a sleek stay in a standout spot, then Hotel Schweizerhof ticks those boxes. It's just a short walk to the main lifts, so you can be on the slopes in no time. After a day of carving up the mountain, you'll love coming back to unwind in the spa where there's a sauna, steam bath, and hot tub waiting.

When it comes to food, you're in for a treat. Start your day with a hearty buffet breakfast to fuel up for skiing. In the evening, you've got choices galore. Fancy some Swiss classics? Head to the Schweizerhof Restaurant or Cheese Factory for fondue and raclette. Or if you're in the mood for something different, try Myoko for fresh sushi and teppanyaki. Later, you can swing by the hotel bar for a cosy post-meal nightcap.

The hotel's decor blends traditional Alpine charm with modern touches. Think warm wood panelling and soft lighting. It's the ideal mix of rustic and refined, creating a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding after a day on the mountain. And with the handy hotel-run shuttle service from the train station, getting to and from the hotel with your bags is a breeze too.

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.
