Great location. One of few ski-in / ski-out hotels in Zermatt. Incredible view over Matterhorn. A bit remote from the city, but it's more an advantage if you come for skiing More

The hotel is located at about 3000 mt on the marvellous Gornegrat just in front of the Matterhorn and in the middle of one of the best ski resort in the world! You can virtually get out of the hotel with your skis and the landscape is just stunning! The hotel itself is nice and cosy: warm and typical alpine... More

We stayed here for 4 nights in Feb 2010 and got a good last minute package. As you would expect for a hotel half way up a mountain, it is blissfully quiet. The meals are a set menu which made it feel more like a chalet holiday. Try and get a table in the restaurant next to the windows for... More

Having hiked down from Gornergrat we had grown hungry and not the least needed to sit down! Hotel Riffelberg was one of the options - and although not looking from much from outside - we decided to take our lunch here and sat down on the outdoor terrace, that has a breathtaking view of the surrounding snow-covered peaks. We didn't... More

On our trip we stayed in France, Norway and Switzerland--but the best place we stayed was Hotel Riffelberg. The staff was wonderfully helpful. We had reserved a family room, and instead were given 2 lovely adjoining rooms, each with a bath and fabulous view. The rooms were clean, inviting, and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel's recommendation for exploring... More

We have stayed several times in hotel Riffelberg. It is fantastic. It has a very good alp feeling. The view cannot be better: matterhorn, sun and blue sky. You get still the sun, when the valley is already dark. It is in the middle of a slope, si you can start skiing early without any hassle and you can ski... More

This hotel had it all. It is not especially large and we think it is probably family run, or certainly appears like that in terms of the warmth and attention of the staff. The pine clad room was quite small but totally adequate (powerful shower) and it had a breathtaking and uninterrupted view of the Matterhorn. The advantages of the... More

We just loved staying at the Hotel Riffelberg. It's just unbelievable that you can stay in such an amazing, quiet place with such awesome views of the Matterhorn right outside your window. The room was nice and comfortable (nice wooden doors), the food was excellent, and the views of the Matterhorn from our room and from the dining room (not... More

I stayed one night at the Hotel Riffelberg with my 18 year old niece in separate rooms. The hotel is very reasonably priced for Zermatt, making it more affordable since you have to take the train to get there and back unless you are a good endurance hiker. Views are breathtaking on the way there and the views from the... More

We stayed for 2 nights at the Hotel Riffelberg on a hiking vacation and it was the perfect hotel. Rooms were smallish but not cramped. Our room had a view of the Matterhorn right out the window. It is very quiet as you are in the mountains with nothing but the wind and stars around you. We opted for half... More
