LeCrans Hotel & Spa

On the valley side a short way out of Zermatt, the Hotel Coeur des Alpes is a stylish glass-sided chalet with a warm welcome and wonderful service.

There are a range of modern rooms, truly opulent suites and sprawling multi-room apartments, many of which enjoy incredible views of the looming Matterhorn.

Breakfasts are huge, afternoon tea is complimentary and there is a snack menu available all day. There’s a wine cellar and weekly raclette evening during the winter and while there is no restaurant here, Zermatt is renowned for it cuisine.

Way up high in the green foothills of the Swiss Alps above the village of Belalp, Hamilton Lodge and Spa sits surrounded by grand mountain ranges and lush meadows. Inspired by the stories of Heidi, an iconic character in Swiss literature, this cosy retreat which is gorgeous beneath summer sunshine or a blanket of winter snow.

The main lodge has 19 unique rooms, ranging from snug two to four people bedrooms to family rooms with connecting door that can sleep up to six.

Designed as a welcoming log cabin, the restaurant is made from stone and wood. The menu is made up of both local and international cuisine, making use of organic products and striving to always make healthy offerings to its guests.

The spa is equipped with Finnish sauna and bio sauna, using herbs from the alpine meadow. A plunge bath, hot tub and whirlpool are situated outdoors – in winter in snow, in summer amidst the alpine flowers.

In winter, Belalp is a lesser know but wonderful ski area, while in the summer the majestic Aletsch glacier is close by and the lodge is a starting point for hikes to faraway peaks or to the a cheese making farm.

The unmistakably Swiss Mont Cervin Palace is a Zermatt landmark, a place of quaint charm and warm hospitality.

Hotel Monte Rose is found in the centre of picturesque Zermatt. There are 41 rooms, with or without a balcony, with a view of the Matterhorn or over Zermatt and its mountain landscape, romantic or modern – but always comfortable and welcoming.

Edward’s Bar Café, named in honour of the first mountaineer to climb the Matterhorn, is ideal for food, a cocktail to set the mood for a night out in town or a nightcap. The hotel participates in Zermatt’s Dine Around concept, meaning that half-board guests can dine in a different local restaurant every evening.
