“This is a particularly interesting property, mostly for its exclusive perch high above Zermatt, accessible only via mountain railway. The views of the Matterhorn are, without question, the main attraction, best enjoyed from a private terrace or while savoring local cuisine in the panoramic restaurant. For couples or adventurers, this place offers a unique, intimate experience.”
