"great food, bad service. first, let me say that I hate to write this review because we had a great dinner in le gitan, the sister restaurant next door, earlier in the week. So we had every expectation that tonight at Zermatter would be great. stubli, unfortunately, have made the comments posted by others reviewing the bad service of a certain waitress in this restaurant tonight. simply, the waitress we had was rude and did not let us welcome. I could give several anecdotes, but only share a few: 1) when we arrived, she claimed that we had no reservation — although I pointed out our names in her book — she then pointed out a table for us without showing us the table. 2) another party came after us and she had served them drinks before they even bring us menus. 3) we asked her to call us a taxi and she reacted by handing us a visit card — not helpful if we don't have Swiss handys. it is sad, because the restaurant is sweet and eating great! but the service is the key to any experience and can make a good meal great or terrible. Unfortunately, the waitress really created a dark cloud during our dinner and I regret to reserve here. when they try this place, they come to the food, but are intended to be the risk of bad service from this special waitress. with many good restaurant options in disassembled and with many visitors who have a limited time in the village, I recommend them to prioritize other restaurants."

"We had two meals here, breakfast and dinner. We were not guests of the hotel, but rather renting a chalet nearby. Both meals surpassed our expectations. Breakfast was delicious, a buffet of lighter items complimented by freshly prepared main course. The food was delicious, perfectly...seasoned. Sizes were perfect considering the fruit, yogurts, meats and cheeses available to supplement. The service was stellar. Breakfast was so good we made dinner reservations that evening. Dinner was not to be missed. We are traveling with two young children, ages and Our children dine our quite often, and are accustomed to nicer restaurants. The menu was fabulous. All the food is local, from the dinner table to the spirits and cocktails. I would not describe the cuisine as Swiss, but it was adventurous, with combinations of meats, fruits, and seasonings I would not have expected. They worked together perfectly; this was not a science experiment. Meats were cooked the perfect amount, despite the creative menu nothing was over sauced or seasoned. Between my wife and I we had two appetizers and two entrees and could not decide what the highlight was. I would also like to call out the attention that was paid to the children's menu. It was four menus, three courses each. It was the first fine restaurant we have visited that the children's menu includes a children's appetizer, catered to their palate. I cannot explain how much freedom this opened up for us as parents to enjoy a full menu without fear of our children growing bored once their main course had arrived and been consumed. The restaurant is not in the heart of town, but it is definitely worth the (short) trip to experience if that is where you are staying. If you, like us, are staying up at the end of Zermatt, you would be seriously remiss if you do not visit."

"A hugely enjoyable challenge strenous, very steep and at times exposed hike to the Hornlihutte but only 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 metres and the Hornlihutte sits at Could be an expensive rescue if any unexpected injuries occur on the final section!"

"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...;)"

"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! ❤️"
