The best accommodation in Zermatt

Advice

It’s essential to think carefully about location when picking accommodation, as the town of Zermatt is spread out. The three lift stations, which access different parts of the mountain, are the Gornergrat railway (next to the main railway station), the Sunnegga funicular, beyond the river, and the Matterhorn Express towards Furi and Matterhorn glacier paradise, upriver more than half a mile from the station. 

Zermatt is car-free apart from the electric taxis and buses, and although there are efficient buses to all parts of town, walking distances can be long and there’s no ski-in/ski-out, centrally located accommodation.
