"If you are in Zermatt, whether summer or winter, Restaurant Du Pont is a MUST! I believe it's the oldest restaurant in Zermatt and it shows - the inside is very cozy with older photos and materials strung around the restaurant. The upstairs is very quaint! Once you open the door you KNOW you are in a place that knows cheese! So you must order something with cheese at this restaurant :) I've had the Kase Fondue (cheese fondue) including the one with mushrooms, herbs and plain - I loved all of them but the herb one was the best. They give you Fondue for one and it is actually enough for two!I've also had the Käseschnitte - the Swiss family I was with always gets this as I think it's also a real typical Swiss dish. As an American this was a new and delicious dish to me (think American grilled cheese, but with much better cheese and served open-face).I also tried the Raclette once before too, also good but I think you should stick to Fondue or Käseschnitte! The Fondue is Wallis style so it comes with boiled potatoes instead of bread - if you want bread instead let them know (or if you want bread in addition to the potatoes, the potatoes are a bit too heavy for me).What I would recommend is to get Fondue for One to share between Two and then get one Käseschnitte to share among Two. You will be FULL and HAPPY! PS: I can eat a lot, for a normal person just sharing the Fondue for One might be enough but... the Käseschnitte...;)"

"A hugely enjoyable challenge strenous, very steep and at times exposed hike to the Hornlihutte but only 2.5 3 hours duration on way up and less on way down a good head for heights, a good level of fitness, proper hiking footwear (not trainers!! attire (can be very cold and some snow at top even in summer and sure footedness are essential plus a few days to acclimatise before attempting is an advantage wonderful and exhilarating hike but not for the faint hearted. Some absolute sheer drops, metal platforms steps to navigate around above the cliffs, very narrow ledges and gravelly (potentially slippery paths, some of which are roped. Views from the Hornlihutte are incredible panoramic spectacular sun terrace and the staff are so friendly, welcoming and chatty. Well worth hiking up past the Hornlihutte to base of the Matterhorn itself to read the moving plaques and if desired, climb up the first few metal footholds ropes of this majestic mountain for a photo opportunity. Felt a real sense of achievement to have reached the Hornlihutte one of life's great and special moments but I did find it a bit scary in parts on the way up and down! For the rest of the week kept looking at it from a distance and couldn't quite believe we had been up there amazing experience if you are fit and have no fear of heights, it's the ultimate Zermatt hiking experience simply unforgettable. NB Remember to check the small print of your Holiday Insurance as a hike of this altitude can be classed under Hazardous Activities our regular policy only covered us up to 3000 metres and the Hornlihutte sits at 3260m (10,700ft . Could be an expensive rescue if any unexpected injuries occur on the final section!"

"We stayed at Chalet Hotel Schoenegg, Zermatt, the week 4-11th February with Inghams Holidays. We absolutely LOVED it! ❤️ The hotel is perfectly located above village with simply stupendous views of village and Matterhorn but literally just a three minutes walk from Sunnega lift station and Flexirent ski equipment rental. Staff in the hotel were absolutely delightful every single one of them in every dept - so friendly, welcoming and helpful (special thanks to Hosa in restaurant x) and the owner also ensured he spoke with all the guests each evening in the restaurant which was a very nice personal touch. Rooms very nice decor, extremely comfortable ( tea/ coffee facilities and dressing gowns and slippers included) immaculate and great views. The panoramic view from restaurant / dining room at breakfast and daytime was utterly spectacular and breathtaking. Watching the magnificent Matterhorn awake and present herself to the village she overlooks is a lasting memory. Indeed "A Room with a View" ( and for fans of The Night Manager, scenes were shot in the dining room here) we could have sat there all day admiring same but the snow conditions, pistes and skiing arena were just too fantastic! Breakfast buffet an amazing selection of hot & cold fare - cheeses and cold meats, smoked salmon, fresh fruit platters and melt in mouth mini croissants / pastries to name a few - even a glass of Prosecco if you wished!! Dinner was also 4 courses of delicious fare each night and the chef always happy to make alternatives for you if choices did not suit. And a lounge with roaring log fire or cosy bar to while away hours. And at the end of the day a divine little Spa area with jacuzzis, steam room, loungers and in house masseur to alleviate aching muscles - again with views to take your breath away. This hotel - its staff, location and incredible views, superlative standard of food and hospitality is a real stand out - we have walked in Zermatt before as well as first ski trip and definitely plan a return visit winter / summer in future. Cannot recommend highly enough - absolutely superlative. Also a visit to the village Museum is a must - amazing exhibits and history of Zermatt and mountaineering. We adore everything about Zermatt - Great To See You (again) !! Thank you Hotel Schoenegg - we will return! ❤️"

"The flower-bedecked outside tables of this cozy and cheerful little restaurant immediately greet you as you enter the tiny hamlet of Zmutt from the path that leads here from the Zmutt Dam. Whether you have walked up the little road from the Furi cable-car station or come the longer way on the wide path that starts in Zermatt near the Schwarzee cable-car station, you can rest your weary feet here with your back against the walls of centuries-old but still sturdy huts while delicious food quickly appears on the table in front of you. And while you drink in the views (such as the green hillside with the Matterhorn tip just peeking out over it,) you might want to sip a glass of Prosecco before selecting from the tasty dishes available (a surprisingly wide range of choices, given how much work it must take to get supplies up to this remote area.) Vegetarians, for example, will love the curried ginger soup and the ravioli in garlic sauce (there are also simple cheese dishes, rostis, and risottos, among other possibilities.) As well, we have eaten here a few times with a Zermatt resident who is not vegetarian, and he tells us that the meat in other dishes, such as liver, is both tasty and locally sourced. (He also pointed out that locals love to come here for both the beautiful walk and the enjoyable food, and many of us believe that it’s always a sign of good food and reasonable prices when a restaurant is consistently supported by locals, not just by one-time visiting tourists.) Service is friendly and quick, and I think the prices offer good value, whether you are ordering a complete meal or just a single home-made dessert or a scoop or two of cinnamon ice-cream. (Go for two scoops—this unusual flavour is delicious!) If you are visiting Zermatt for a day or two and you enjoy 2 hours or so of steady uphill walking (not too demanding and always scenic) with delicious food at the end of it, make sure you come here."
