Loved by guests
"There is no question: the unique selling point is this hotel's unbeatable location perched high on a mountain overlooking both Zermatt and - far more importantly - the Matterhorn."
"The best place to stay after the gondolas stop running as it gets super quiet and the mountain view is breathtaking."
"The most spectacular feature is the view: Our view had views to kill for, both over the Matterhorn and over the valley, including the Gornergrat."

“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. I think that its commitment to providing a unique alpine experience makes it a worthwhile choice for those seeking immersion in the mountains.”
