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

We just returned from 8 nights at the Hotel Riffelberg in Zermatt and highly recommend it. The staff is warm and friendly, rooms are clean and comfortable, and food and wine are good. Perfect for a ski-in/out holiday in the alps. The hotel is located at about 2500 meters (8300 feet) about 1/2 way up the Gornergrat section of the... More

We have just come back from two wonderful days at the Riffelberg Hotel located 30 minutes (by Alpine train) above Zermatt. The hotel's setting is simply spectacular, with stunning views of the Matterhorn and other close-by Alpine peaks. The food was delicious and the service was great. The manager goes out of his way to help. Perhaps the furnishings are... More
