10 Best Luxury Hotels in Zermatt, Switzerland

Where to Stay in Zermatt

Zermatt is a small car-free village at the foot of the Matterhorn, so where you stay mostly decides how close you are to the lifts and the railway station. Here are the main options.

City Center: Best for First-Time Visitors

Only electric vehicles and horse-drawn carriages are allowed on the village streets, and electric taxis and buses run through the center, so most of it is easy to walk. It has restaurants, bars and shops, and hotels from luxury to hostels.

Near the Lifts: Best for Skiers

Three ways up the mountain start in or next to the village: the Sunnegga funicular, the Gornergrat railway from Zermatt station and the Matterhorn Express gondola. A hotel close to the one you will use most saves a walk with ski boots or hiking gear.

Above the Village: Best for Views

A few hotels sit above the village and are reached on the Gornergrat railway. Riffelalp Resort 2222m is about 15 minutes up, and 3100 Kulmhotel Gornergrat, at 3,100 meters, is about 33 minutes up and is described as the highest hotel in the Swiss Alps.

Täsch: Best for Arriving by Car

Täsch is about 5.6 km from Zermatt. Cars stop there because Zermatt is car-free, and a shuttle train covers the rest in about 12 minutes, every 20 minutes for most of the day. Täsch has hotels and apartments.
