Hotel Schwarzsee

The hotel located in the middle of the slope and can only be accessed by the lift (Furi-Schwarzsee) during the winter time. It is an optimal place, if you come for skiing: you can ski, till the lift Furi-Schwarzsee is opened. If you go from Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, plan to end up directly at the hotel (you still need to take the lift Furgg-Schwarzsee to go up from Furgg). The hotel provides a dinner which is served in a nice wooden lobby with a top view on Zermatt village. You can not go down to the village after the lifts are closed, but you can walk around Schwarzsee and enjoy the mountain views in a calm enviroment. In the morning you can witness the sunrise with a view on Matterhorn and then enjoy being the first on the freshly prepared slopes. The staff is friendly, rooms are clean, breakfast/dinner are good.

For us this was a perfect hotel that exceeded our expectations on our skiing holiday. We really loved our stay here. We lived in the quadruple room for 8 days during the Christmas period. We had amazing weather the whole time and lots of snow. The view is amazing both down on Zermatt but also Matterhorn of course. The breakfast was basic but good. The 3 course dinner was great and always varied. Our kids loved it and I already miss being there.

The location can't be beat. You are right at the base of Matterhorn. So the view from bedroom, dinning room or basically every corner is wonderful with Matterhorn as backdrop. And it is unobstructed, you have the Matterhorn to yourself. The room is just basic though.

Can’t beat the location! We got up to watch the sunrise over the mountains and it was incredible! The staff was also really friendly and accommodating, and the food was pretty good.

One of the best hotel experiences of my two month Europe trip, Rooms were amazing, beds were comfortable. Food was on point. Obviously, views of the Matterhorn from everywhere, second to none. Massive thanks to the Staff, absolute legends!!!
