Where to stay

Flat, central and close to the Gornergrat railway and the Sunnegga funicular. The easiest base with luggage and small children.

The old quarter around the church, with timber barns and quieter lanes. Ten minutes on foot from the station.

A quieter hamlet on the slope above the village, served by its own free e-bus line. Good value chalets and apartments.

The car terminal village one stop down the valley. Cheaper rooms and covered parking, with the shuttle train every 20 minutes.

A grand hotel on the main street, with three restaurants including a seafood restaurant awarded a Bib Gourmand. Book early for February.

A mountain hotel at 2,222 m on the Gornergrat line, with ski-in, ski-out access, a winter kindergarten and a heated outdoor pool. The last train up leaves Zermatt at 23:30.
