“Location is key here, just steps from Zermatt's train station. I appreciate that its design thoughtfully blends modern style with Valais traditions. Families will find spacious rooms well-suited for longer stays near the slopes. From what I've gathered, the on-site restaurant seems to be a real draw, especially for its flambé dishes.”
