“Hotel Schwarzsee distinguishes itself with its dedicated staff and exceptional dinners, which are served in a beautiful wooden lobby, offering panoramic views of Zermatt. Its location, while lift-dependent, caters specifically to skiers, allowing direct access to slopes and stunning Matterhorn sunrises.
