Hoteles cerca del Gornergrat, Zermatt

My wife have grown quite fond of mountaintop lodgings for our ski holidays and they don’t come much more emblematic than 3100 Kulmhotel Gornergrat. Perched atop a peak facing the iconic Matterhorn, it exemplifies the panoramic views and towering location that we adore. Make no mistake, despite my issues raised below, this is a truly magical property. But it isn’t cheap and it comes with a number of limitations that you should be aware of marooned in the middle of nowhere. • COMFORTABLE ROOMS WITH STUNNING VIEWS – Especially the Matterhorn view rooms where the image of this iconic promontory fills your window. • NICELY PRESENTED FOOD – Not quite gourmet, but a clever effort to dress it up with alluring ingredients and garnishes. But the food is tasty and the portions are ample. HINT - GETTING THERE IS VERY COMPLICATED – Do not just put the hotel in your satnav as it will not be able to help you and you will hit lot of problems. Here is a step-by-step guide to getting there: • AVOID THE CAR-TRAIN: The satnavs will give you the fastest route that takes you on a route where you load your car onto a train to be transported through a shortcut tunnel, BUT that train runs very irregularly. So you end of up waiting an hour for a train that saves you 30 minutes of driving time. • GO TO TASCH, SWITZERLAND: Tasch is where you park your car. In fact, I think that the town’s sole purpose in life is to be a giant parking lot for Zermatt. You see Zermatt itself is CAR FREE. So you have to park in Tasch and take a 12 minute shuttle train into Zermatt. I recommend the underground parking lot just to the left of the train station (facing it) which had reasonable prices (12 euros/day), plenty of spaces, but most importantly was the shortest walk to the station (very important when lugging luggage full of ski equipment). • RENT SKI GEAR AT BAYARD – Unlike most ski resorts, the ski rental shops are not obvious. We had to ask to find one. Several people recommended Bayard and they gave us great service. Most importantly, they are on the block adjacent to the train station again minimizing lugging distance. LIMITATIONS - It is a stunning, bucket-list worthy property, but its pricey rack-rates also command a bit of discernment… • OBSERVATORY NOT AVAILABLE – When you read about the place, one of the first things that gets mentioned is its observatory heritage which includes still operational telescopes available for public use. HOWEVER, the observatory is run by a separate company and viewings are only available by prior and separate arrangements. This situation could be better communicated and coordinated. • LOUNGE NOT AVAILABLE – Unfortunately, the hotel doesn’t yet have a common area lounge where you can relax and have drink. You can go down to the dining room and sit at one of the tables with the view of the Matterhorn, but nothing more comfortable. So it is either a table or your room. They are in the process of remodeling the facility and h

La estadía en el hotel fue excelente. Ya sea desde el restaurante, terraza, spa, o practicamente cualquier lugar del hotel, la vista al Matterhorn es privilegiada. La cena y el desayuno muy buenos. El servicio me parecio excelente y cordial. Sin lugar a dudas volvería.

Hotel de primera calidad situado en Zermatt con hermosa vista al Matterhorn. Desde la reserva se comunicaron con nosotros para recogernos a la estación de trenes libre de cargo. Llegamos de noche y cansados sin reserva para la cena y amablemente nos consiguieron espacio en The Grill, un asadero increíble donde cominos la mejor carne de nuestras vidas. El servicio impecable. Cuentan con una piscina panorámica afuera del hotel con vista a la montaña pero también con una interior y jacuzzis. No pudimos probar el spa lamentablemente. Todo el servicio fue único y la habitación supero mis expectativas. Excelente! Me quedaría aquí mil veces más.

Sí, la ciudad es muy buena, ¡no es necesario tomar un taxi! ¡Básicamente puedes ir allí! ¡Hay recogidas y devoluciones ecológicas en la tienda! ¡Ciudad ecológica sin coches! El hotel tiene una ubicación céntrica, al lado de la iglesia & # 128146; y el museo!

A very modern feeling, well appointed hotel, we were thoroughly impressed. For the two nights we stayed the room was remarkably spacious and very comfortable. Soft towels, nice bedding, luxurious shower and spacious bathroom. We got a room with a balcony and ate lunch out there a few times. It was lovely. Breakfast was yummy. A nice mix of your traditional European fare with fresh breads, smoked meats and cheeses. A Jura coffee maker for all of your coffee needs. The very best part of this hotel was the staff. Everyone we interacted with went above and beyond in helping us feel at home. We of course were curious and charming. :) That helps I think. The view of the Matterhorn from the breakfast room was lovely. I highly recommend this hotel.

Es un hotel medianamente desatendido. La recepción tiene un horario. Si llegas antes o después del horario no te podrán atender, pero en general goza de buen servicio en todo. Una chica nos atendio dentro del horario establecido y todo fue con normalidad.

That is the fantastic hotel in Zermatt; the service and facility are excellent, and the room has a good view of the mountain and Matterhorn. The price of the room is already included the swimming pool and gym and Sauna, that is the excellent price that gives you the service. I will book this hotel again.

I traveled with clutch and to the hotel is simply easy walk. Direct opposite the rail station and near all the restaurants and Coop. I used the pool and it’s so nice.The breakfast was wonderful (some FOC selection in menu and a good spread in buffet) and they provide afternoon tea too.

La experiencia es buena. A través de la habitación ideal (alto piso) debido a la reserva completa, tenemos una habitación más grande en el primer piso. La ubicación y la limpieza fueron excelentes, caminable a la estación de tren y se le permitió llegar a la calle principal. El hotel dispone de unas instalaciones muy buenas - la caldera se le proporcionaba para cocinar agua caliente, la televisión se podía acceder a su cuenta de netflix, se le proporcionaba el tiempo de té a las 4:00 al día.

We stayed here for a few nights in September in Room 1. The food was superb, and the atmosphere was quiet - seemed like we were there during the quiet season - but perfect for me! We were able to wake up to views of the Matterhorn. The room was very comfortable, and had luxurious fixtures - specifically the shower. The staff were very very nice. The views were, of course, spectacular. Quick and easy hiking access. I tend towards luxury, but I have a smallish budget - it was perfect for me!
