3100 Gornergrat

This hotel is truly unreal. Prepare yourself for a longer review! I stayed here for one night in April 2022. Was it pricey? Technically yes, but also kinda not. I will explain in a moment! Getting to the hotel: You need to ride the Gornergrat to the hotel. This is not free and will add an extra $40ish CHF each way for everyone. When arriving during the winter time you will probably be on a train filled with a ton of skiers. Get comfortable for the 40 minute train ride and enjoy the views. They are incredible! Sit on the right side for the best views of the matterhorn when ascending the mountain. Once the train reaches the final station you will need to disembark and head to the hotel. I recommend wait a moment to let all the skiers off since you will probably have a few suitcases. Once you are off find the first set of elevators to take you to the hotels ground floor. Then enter the building to find the second set to get to the lobby. Things to do at the Hotel: Now this is the best part about this hotel. This hotel you want to book as an escape. There is not much up there and it is wonderful. They have Zooom which is a virtual reality experience. There is also a small chapel and a few gift shops. If you come in the winter you can ski right from the hotel down or in the summer you can go hiking. However even if you do not do any of those, my favorite area is above the hotel where you can see everything. They have a small lookout point that allows you to see all 29 peaks that surround you. Honestly an incredible place to see the stars. It is so quiet and such a great escape. Food: Now for food you have only 2 options. For lunch there is a cafe style food. However for dinner and breakfast they open their restaurant up for a great meal. Now included in the hotel rate is a 4 course dinner and a hot breakfast buffet. Honestly it was delicious and incredible! Rooms: Each of the rooms are named after one of the peaks that surround it. They will tell you the history of that peak and your room will include a rock from the peak. No matter where your room is, you will have a phenomenal view. Overall this hotel will always be one of the most unique hotels I have ever stayed at. 100% would stay here again.

very basic food on the cafeteria side, they have an adjacent sit down restaurant. you visit for the views of the matterhorn and the valleys below.

Absolutely loved the unique experience and the view of matterhorn from the hotel. Staff were very friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who will be traveling to the area. One thing to be aware is that the altitude is so high that you might get mountain sickness. My husband had headache and I had short of breath pretty much the entire time, but those were small price to pay for the fantastic experience we had!!

A unique hotel with a fantastic view. Breakfast and dinner are included and are great. The price is high but considering the unique location and meals included it was worth it to me. Be aware you will need to take a train to this hotel and restaurant. The last train leaves Zermatt at around 730pm. If you miss this there is no way to get to your hotel. The train is 30 minutes long and you will need to pay. They do offer multi day passes and discounts for a Swiss travel pass. A 3 day Gornergratt pass for 2 people with the Swiss pass discount was around 380. Make sure you factor in this cost. I did not when booking.
