Mont Cervin Palace ***** Zermatt, Switzerland
What we love
The Riffelalp is a wonderfully unique hotel. Only accessible by railway, far from the hustle and bustle you can enjoy the true sense of being in the mountains. The perfect choice for a magical Winter holiday.
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.
