    Highlights

    Year-round inclusions

    Being a guest of Riffelalp Resort 2'222m means you can enjoy the rare experience of peace, tranquillity and slowing down in harmony with nature - and we've taken care of all the essentials:

    • Acces to the Spa 2'222m, with Matterhorn views
    • Breakfast each morning, exclusively for staying guests
    • Late return train connection from Zermatt (11:30 p.m.)

    In winter

    A flurry of activity

    To help you get the most from your time exploring our majestic alpine surroundings, we've thought of everything: 

    • True ski-in, ski-out access with slopes passing by the hotel.
    • A deluxe on-site ski shop with premium hire facilities.
    • A fully supervised kindergarten for younger guests.
    • A complimentary programme of skiing, snowshoeing and freeriding, four days a week.

    In summer

    The alps in bloom

    Get out and enjoy the beauty of our high altitude setting in summer with: 

    • Europe’s highest (and we’d argue, most charming) tramway leading directly to our door.
    • A complimentary hiking programme, including an ascent of the Breithorn.
    • Outdoor playground facilities for children and teens.

    Sports equipment rental

    Get kitted out

    During winter, you’ll find a Bayard Sports outlet in the resort, offering skis, snowboards and other outdoors equipment for hire. In summer, we rent out mountain bikes and climbing gear.  

    For everything else, Zermatt has several sporting goods stores offering a large selection of sportswear and material. Our concierge will be happy to share recommendations.

    Bowling

    Strike a game

    Head to our two-lane bowling alley for a little friendly competition with family or friends. Whether you're celebrating, unwinding after a day outdoors or simply enjoying an evening together, it's fun for all ages.

    Billiard Room

    Cue up

    Challenge friends or family to a game of billiards in a relaxed alpine setting. Perfect for a leisurely afternoon or an after-dinner match, it's a timeless way to spend quality time together at the resort.

    Smoking room

    In good company

    Those who are fond of an after-dinner cigar can retire to the cosy sophistication of our fumoir. Add a fine cognac or whisky, a few like-minded people and perhaps the transmission of a major sporting event and you have the ideal conclusion to a day on the mountain.

    Medical assistance

    Access to care

    In the event of a medical emergency, qualified doctors and the team at Air Zermatt are located in Zermatt and can be contacted immediately. As medical professionals are based in the village, consultations take place there rather than at the resort. The nearest hospital is in Visp, approximately 40 minutes by car from Zermatt. For minor concerns and first aid, our team maintains a carefully stocked medical cabinet on site.
