We spent a week at "Alouette" guesthouse when we were making day hikes into the Alps surrounding Zermatt with a group of friends. All of the accommodations are suites or studios and have cooking facilities. Breakfasts are now offered at the hotel across the street. The entire facility is spotlessly clean, and Sandro and his father, owners, are most friendly and accommodating. In fact we occasionally had a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates waiting for us when we returned from a hard day on the trails! It's about a 10 minute easy walk from the train station, and is located on a small hill so the south-facing rooms have an unobstructed view of the Matterhon. We plan to return next year!
