From the welcome parking to the distinguished Riffelalp Resort you don’t have to think about nothing (the reliable staff of the hotel takes care of everything till your walk-in to the room, where your luggage is already waiting for you) but reveling in the beauty of the nature and the coquetry of Zermatt. The Alpine style in which all the famous(well-known) brand stores sink and the electrical cars which is the only way you can avoid walking convey the experience that you are part of cozy winter Swiss fairy tale. After the shopping spree you can go straight to the rail station in the middle of the town and take the train which would drive you far away at the height of 2222m to the extraordinary resort Riffelalp. The 20 minutes travelling and the view from above the rails prepare you for the unforgettable trip that you would experience in the following days. When arriving at the station a ski-doo is waiting to escort you to the hotel through a lovely pine forest which is just the beginning of a thrilling vacation. Riffelalp is located at a height of 2,222 meters above sea level and is rated as one of the most luxurious winter hotels throughout the world. Everything from the service, the accommodation and the view are indescribable.
The first thing that you should do after arriving at the hotel is to sit at the terrace area, take a glass of wine and order the amazing truffle pasta, enjoy the kisses of the warm sun lights.
After that you can relax in your suite by sitting on the balcony in the company of the breathtaking panorama of the astonishing Matterhorn. Around 16/17 o’clock is the best time to visit the Wellness-Center. The variety of Sauna rooms all of which with different aromas and the preferences of the guests allow more privacy. Don’t forget to dive in to the Europe’s highest outdoor pool which is heated to 35 C. Surrounded by the snowy caps of the Pennine Alps you could take a picture with the Matterhorn itself.
If you are wondering where to spend the evening you can choose either the Alexandre restaurant which has a gourmet menu or the Walliserkeller where you can order only typical Walliser (the south canton in Switzerland) dishes mainly served in a fondue 🫕. The smell of warm cheese grabs you from the walk in to the Keller. The “Raclette Champion” is a must try.
