Riffelalp Resort 2222m

When our train up the mountain broke down we had the option to get off and hike to the nearest train station. We ended up at Riffelalp Resort while deciding if we would wait out the broken train or hike back down to town. The host greeted us with hospitality and coffees even though we were not hotel guests. He helped us find a hiking path and convinced us to go visit the Riffelsee Lake. We are so grateful for his kindness and willingness to help us. We hope to come back as guests next time we are in Zermatt. Thank you!

There are not many truly five-star hotels in my POV because there are always things you can nitpick on. But this place is. We had the pleasure of staying here during the skiing season this year. Zermatt is absolutely stunning and this hotel has brought an even better experience. The location is fantastic for a ski-in and ski-out hotel. It has a rental ski shop attached to it, which made the whole experience smooth if you don't bring your own skis. Sure, you do have to take the train to Riffelalp station and walk or get on the ski motobike to get to the hotel, but a small price to pay. The view of the hotel room is also fantastic. We had the Matterhorn right outside the window (you can see it from the photo). The staff is exceptional and helpful. I cannot wait to return next year and make this my yearly skiing destination.

I have photographed weddings and elopements here and it's such a beautiful wedding venue for any type of wedding if you want to enjoy some luxury and the best views in the world at the same time. The hotel is very luxurious and the staff are very professional and accommodating.
