Setting the scene
The Riffelalp Resort is situated at 2,222m above Zermatt. Part of the experience of staying here is reaching the hotel by the Gornergrat mountain railway - a feature which really adds to the exclusive feel of the hotel and is enjoyed by all.
This property has all the qualities for a memorable stay, with an ideal ski-in/ski-out location in the Riffelalp ski area, gastronomic restaurant and relaxing sun terrace, extensive spa area plus both indoor and outdoor pools and mini-fitness centre. The Riffelalp is an exemplary self-contained resort in itself and even features its own bowling alley!
The hotel is especially suited to families with young children. It has a supervised playroom (during the winter) welcoming children from two to eight years, that is open Sunday to Friday from 3:00pm to 10:30pm. Here older children can play on the Playstation whilst the younger children can enjoy toys, games as well as arts and crafts available.
