Riffelalp 2222 · Switzerland
The Riffelalp Experience
There are remote hotels, and then there is Riffelalp. Perched high above Zermatt and reachable only by cogwheel train, it feels like a storybook alpine retreat with Matterhorn views that do not quit. Inside, it is all warm wood and wool throws, flickering fireplaces, and just the right amount of old world elegance.
It is a dream for couples who want peace and powder, and a lifesaver for jet lagged families with kids in ski school. The ski instructors are just outside the door, so even if breakfast turns into brunch, you are still not late. Add a heated outdoor pool surrounded by snow and you have the definition of magic.
The Highlight Reel
The Journey: Reach your destination via a scenic cogwheel train ride that takes you far above the tree line and away from the noise of the village.
The Ski Access: This is true ski in and ski out access with no shuttles required since the instructors meet you right at the front door.
The Pool: Take a dip in the heated outdoor pool where the water is warm and the Matterhorn is always in your line of sight.
The Fondue: Indulge in a cheese fondue experience that is so authentic it might ruin all other fondues for you.
