Overview

Riffelhaus 1853 sits quietly on the flank of the Riffelberg, high enough that the Matterhorn stands directly before you. Diners and guests share that view, as have the mountaineers and European royalty who came before them. The twenty-five rooms and suites each look out on the surrounding peaks, and the spa offers a Jacuzzi turned toward the Matterhorn itself. Heliport Zermatt is about four minutes' drive away.

    A Picture-Perfect Matterhorn View from My Window

    From my room, I could see the Matterhorn directly through the window. It felt as if the window itself were a picture frame, with the Matterhorn perfectly displayed inside it. Although the weather was rainy during part of my stay, the flashes of lightning at night made the scenery even more dramatic and unforgettable. I loved being able to experience not only the sunny side of the mountains, but also their more powerful and atmospheric moods. Apart from the side facing the lifts, the hotel seems to have beautiful views in almost every direction. This time I stayed in a room facing the Matterhorn, but next time I would also like to try a room facing another direction and enjoy a completely different mountain landscape. One of the highlights of my stay was the spa. Relaxing in the jacuzzi while looking at the Matterhorn was an unforgettable and truly luxurious experience. Dinner was also very good, and the hotel had a calm and comfortable atmosphere. I stayed for only one night this time, but if I return to Zermatt, I would definitely like to stay for two nights so that I can fully enjoy the changing weather, light, and mountain scenery.

    Sublime, everything was perfect 🏔️

    An absolutely magnificent stay in a sublime hotel, ideally located facing the majestic Matterhorn. The view is breathtaking. The exceptional setting, the particularly warm welcome from Julie and all the restaurant servers. The rooms are comfortable and well-kept. The breakfast is remarkable, delicious, hearty, and very varied. An exceptional address that I recommend without hesitation, and where I will return with great pleasure.
