Hotels in Zermatt: where to stay, from the Bahnhofstrasse to Riffelalp
Zermatt is car-free, and where you stay decides how easily you reach the slopes. Here are the hotels we recommend in the centre, above the village and up on the mountain.

Zermatt is car-free, so you take the train from Täsch and walk or take an electric taxi to your hotel. That makes location matter: stay near the station and everything is on foot, stay by the Matterhorn Express and you are on the slopes in minutes.
