“A family-run institution for over 50 years, this hotel in Zermatt features renovated rooms with modern touches and select rooms frame stunning Matterhorn views. I think its heart-of-Zermatt location-close to key entertainment and ski shuttles-makes it a solid choice. The on-site spa is appealing after a day on the slopes.”

The boot room was small, but mighty! The boot heaters dried everything overnight, ready for a new ski day.
