    charming suite
    unparalleled views
    limited dining

    The Junior Suite features a charming design crafted predominantly with wood, creating an inviting atmosphere. Unsurpassed views of the Matterhorn from the room and terrace provide a breathtaking backdrop, making it hard to leave the comfort of your room.

    The dining experiences can feel limited, with dinner menus primarily offering just meat or vegetarian choices, which might not suit everyone’s tastes. the price for bottled water can be a shocker—10 CHF for something most hotels provide without a fuss. Finally, be mindful of transportation schedules, since weather conditions can hinder your return, leaving you in a bit of a bind if the trains aren't running.

    breathtaking views
    junior suite
    nature experience
    limited dining options
    staff attentiveness
    restaurant service

    The breathtaking views from my Junior Suite made my stay memorable, especially with the direct sight of the mountains. I was disappointed with the limited dining options available, as well as the restaurant staff's lack of attentiveness during my meals. It's a great location for enjoying nature, but better service would enhance the experience.

    four-course dinners

    Breathtaking, Breathtaking, Breathtaking

    The views of the Matterhorn were nothing short of magical from my Double Room with Mountain View. I could relish in the breathtaking sunsets right from my own balcony, making every evening special. And let's not forget about the delicious four-course dinners that truly showcased the essence of Swiss cuisine!

    would recommend ❤️😊
