Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! You cannot get any better than this hotel. The service, friendly and helpful staff, gourmet 6 course meals, beautiful rooms with views of the Matterhorn, spotlessly clean. The position of the Schonegg is perfect. Close to everything, and yet high enough to have the best views of the Matterhorn and Zermatt!! I cannot say anything bad about this hotel. Everyone that visits Zermatt must stay here - it is amazing!!!!

My Family and I have been visiting the Grand Hotel Schonegg (aka Schonegg Chalet Hotel) each New Year for a week for the last eight years and have at no time been disappointed by our stay. The quality of the service, the friendliness of the owners and all the staff ,the wonderful food at breakfast and dinner (and a very extensive and well priced wine list) all leave our family wanting to come back for more each year and that is what we do.... we had stayed in other Hotels in Zermatt prior to arriving at the Schonegg but none served us more well. You really can ski back to the Hotel and the Bar attracts as many locals as it does guests and has a great atmosphere....along with a very accomplished and lively piano player!The New Years Eve Dinner and Party is a must and even comes with your own indoor party fireworks... we now bring many friends to that celebration and there is no better view of the fireworks display on New Years Eve than from the Hotel balcony which provides the best view of Zermatt and the Matterhorn beyond.The new rooms in a modern wing are very stylish and comfortable and where else could you lie in the bath gazing at the Matterhorn! We will return and return again....well at least until I can no longer stand on the skis!

•Excellent.
•Friendly helpful staff. They kindly arranged a meal in their restaurant after our late arrival and they picked us up at the train station.
•Better and cheaper restaurants for dinner within easy walking distance, so B&B terms worked well.
•Good breakfast, pleasant dining room.
•Lovely spacious quiet attic room with superb Matterhorn view.

I have been going to Zermatt since 1971 when I first arrived to work there for a year and I have been coming back almost every year since, even when I lived in Whistler for ten years. This year I hope to go twice for skiing, once in May for ski touring and again in August to climb with my good friend Franz.

The Schonegg is a magical place. The new hotel replaced the original Schonegg which was at one time the only building in this whole area of Zermatt so the family back then was able to pick the first and best view location in the village. I don't know of any hotel that has all of the things that you need for a perfect stay.
1) Four Star (shoud be Five but as a four it attracts fewer of the "stuffy" older crowd".
2) A mid size, family run hotel that will give you the best personalized service you have ever had.
3) Owners that grew up in Zermatt so they can give you the best advice possible on where to go and when to get the best skiing, shopping, dining and hiking.
3) Gourmet dining with a fantastic breakfast selection.
4) Great spa.
5) A wonderful vibrant bar for after ski, before and after dinner.
6) A quiet library lounge with fireplace.
2) Ski right to the front door at the end of the day.
3) Two minute walk to the Sunnegabahn base (the best starting point to be close to)
4) Five minute walk to the main street, Gornergrat train station and main train station.
5) Sixty meters above the town ( Go to the main Zermatt web site to see the (Ober-
häusern web cam - this is the view from the hotel front deck)
6) An unobstructed view out over the town that is the best in Zermatt, with the best Matterhorn angle.
7) A private elevator and tunnel that take you up 60 meters to the hotel lobby from village level.
8) Well appointed and spotlessly clean rooms with a choice of traditional design in the main hotel, modern design in the new wing.
