Really good Dinners

Each evening at the hotel, we indulged in a four-course meal that surprised and delighted our taste buds. The varied menu featuring local dishes made every dinner an exciting experience. It truly felt like dining in a fine restaurant rather than just at a hotel.

Fantastic Spa Experience

I absolutely loved the spa area at the hotel. The large heated pool and jacuzzi were perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes. The ambiance was serene, and I enjoyed the whirlpool, which provided the relaxation I needed.

Stunning Room Views

Our room boasted a lovely balcony with a side view of the amazing Matterhorn. It was a joy to sip my morning coffee while taking in the majestic scenery right from our room.

Impressive Indoor Pool

The indoor swimming pool was one of the highlights of my stay. It was always well-maintained with just the right temperature, making it an inviting spot to swim a few laps or just relax.
