Overview

Blending contemporary style with a warm Alpine atmosphere, this modern hotel enjoys a convenient location just a short walk from the centre of Zermatt, the Gornergrat Mountain Railway and the ski bus stop. It's an excellent base for exploring the resort and getting onto the slopes with ease.

The spacious rooms are bright and thoughtfully designed, featuring wooden floors, stylish Matterhorn-inspired artwork and modern furnishings. Many also offer impressive views of the iconic Matterhorn, adding an extra touch to your mountain stay.

After a day on the slopes, unwind in the hotel's extensive wellness area. Take a dip in the indoor pool with massage jets, relax in the sauna or steam room, or soak in the outdoor hot tub while surrounded by Alpine scenery. Families are well catered for too, with a dedicated children's pool and a large games room to keep younger guests entertained.

Dining is another highlight, with three restaurants to choose from, including the unique underground pub, The Dude. Later, settle into the elegant hotel bar or enjoy a relaxed drink in the cosy, glass-panelled Tuxedo Lounge – the perfect way to round off the day.

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.
