Spent five nights in August at the Hotel Riffelberg above Zermatt; a wonderful base for many different hikes, comfortable hotel with very good kitchen -- took half pension and loved the dinners. Very friendly management: when I wanted to leave for one night at an Alpine hut, they let me keep my stuff in the room without charging me for... More

I followed Trip-Advisor guest recommendation and planned my 2 nights at Riffelberg. The description met my requirements, but I was apprehensive till I reached there. It was exactly what I wanted. Secluded, quiet, spendid view of Matterhorn. To top it, the staff were friendly, place was serene as it was off-season in Sept. And I was surprised to note that... More

We were fortunate enough to have spent 3 days at the hotel. It was a period of relaxation for us after a week of hectic touring and nothing could have been better than lying in bed and watch the clouds play around the Matterhorn. The Matterhorn changed every minute - it was interesting to watch all this from the comfort... More

A few days at Hotel Riffelberg will recharge your batteries and zest for life. Perched at 2,600 metres above sea level, and yet only a 15 min ride on a cog railway from the sleepy town of Zermatt down in the valley, you will be bowled over by the beauty of the mountains on all sides. The hotel, which featured... More

Great location. One of few ski-in / ski-out hotels in Zermatt. Incredible view over Matterhorn. A bit remote from the city, but it's more an advantage if you come for skiing

The hotel is located at about 3000 mt on the marvellous Gornegrat just in front of the Matterhorn and in the middle of one of the best ski resort in the world! You can virtually get out of the hotel with your skis and the landscape is just stunning! The hotel itself is nice and cosy: warm and typical alpine... More

We stayed here for 4 nights in Feb 2010 and got a good last minute package. As you would expect for a hotel half way up a mountain, it is blissfully quiet. The meals are a set menu which made it feel more like a chalet holiday. Try and get a table in the restaurant next to the windows for... More

Having hiked down from Gornergrat we had grown hungry and not the least needed to sit down! Hotel Riffelberg was one of the options - and although not looking from much from outside - we decided to take our lunch here and sat down on the outdoor terrace, that has a breathtaking view of the surrounding snow-covered peaks. We didn't... More

On our trip we stayed in France, Norway and Switzerland--but the best place we stayed was Hotel Riffelberg. The staff was wonderfully helpful. We had reserved a family room, and instead were given 2 lovely adjoining rooms, each with a bath and fabulous view. The rooms were clean, inviting, and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel's recommendation for exploring... More
