From the top viewing platform, it can either be calm and relaxed or extremely cold and windy. I've been in both so just come prepared clothing wise as in general, it's much colder than in the town of Zermatt. There's a great gift shop and restaurant just down the elevator as well. Reasonably priced and great portions. All in all, definitely a must-see if you're in town, even if you're not skiing or snowboarding.

It's the MATTERHORN. For those who grew up going to Disneyland in California, this word was only…read moreassociated with some awesome roller coaster ride. Sure, we knew it was based on something real, but that something real wasn't a place you'd actively try to go or dream about going to one day. The Matterhorn was just an awesome ride at Disneyland (with a Yeti) and that's that. Well, The Matterhorn is uber amazing and if you're at the point of your life you can afford to come to Zermatt, Switzerland, then by all means it's worth the time/money. The views are the best in the Swiss Alps. Getting to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise was a very nice ride up and the top obviously will have stunning views. Hopefully when you go, it's not cloudy. Of course, it'll be cold up there so dress appropriately. Pro-tip: Go to the top (Matterhorn Glacier Paradise), then ski/snowboard down to save money. I know some people may just want to go to the top and go down (without doing any snow sports) like I did with my family. However, if possible, go skiing/snowboarding down after you get to the top. The ticket will be cheaper since it's sort of like a one-way ride and then you get to use all the lifts to go all over the mountain whereas if you're just site-seeing on foot, it can be more expensive.

The Gornergrat Bahn was one of those rare experiences that genuinely stayed with me long after it…read moreended. As the train climbed higher, I found myself quietly taking it all in, the steady ascent, the widening views, and the growing sense that I was heading somewhere extraordinary. When the Matterhorn finally came into full view, it felt less like sightseeing and more like a moment to pause and appreciate where I was. Reaching the summit was unforgettable. Standing there, surrounded by glaciers and endless peaks, I did not feel the need to say much at all. The scenery spoke for itself. A picture says a thousand words, and up at Gornergrat, even that feels like an understatement. This was not just a train ride for me; it was a reminder of how powerful and humbling nature can be. The Gornergrat GGB is an experience I would revisit without hesitation and recommend to anyone looking for something truly special.

Needed to correct the low review for this hotel from someone who did not even stay there! We just…read morespent two nights in Zermatt and Hotel AMBiANCE was a sanctuary for our stay- centrally located but away from the crowds of Bahnhofstrasse. Room was a Junior Suite with Matterhorn view. Incredibly comfortable, clean and well designed to have space to relax and decompress. Room matched pictures and exceeded it as you can't see the room's balcony in the photos. That provided a wonderful place to sit in the early morning or at sunset to watch the alpenglow. The inn is family run and the pride of ownership comes through in every detail - Stephanie and Alain were wonderful hosts. Breakfast selection was perfect for diverse tastes/dietary restrictions - critical when traveling with others :) Inn includes a sauna and whirlpool to allow you to relax after a long day of hiking, skiiing or other adventures. Overall, highly recommend!

Of course, none of this is the fault of the hotel or my party. Bad things happen, it is how you deal with them that counts. I booked through their site directly - cut out the middle man and increase their margin - so I thought I was doing them a little favor. We knew at least 1 week ahead of time that we couldn't make it into Zermatt and let them know. Unfortunately, they refused to give us any refund or credit - I guess they are following their rules. At the same time, we are out thousands of $$$ because we tried to help them out a bit. My advice is to NOT book directly with this hotel, instead, work with a booking company that will protect you in case of odd circumstances. I learned that the Ambiance is going to return any favors... Finally, I will note that all (4) of the other hotels and condos (in other parts of Switzerland) gave us our money back without question or hesitation.

Everything was seamless: booking, online check-in, and boarding. Our pilot, Kevin Lauber, was part tour guide, part aerial magician, navigating the airspace and mountains with remarkable ease. There were huge smiles all around for all of us throughout the entire flight. The flight became Herzensgedächtnis - an experience forever etched in my heart. Thank you Air Zermatt !

Yelp Review 2026 #140:…read more Out of all the hotels I've ever stayed at in Switzerland, this is one of my favorites. First, it's so close to the Zermatt station. There's a nice bakery next door. It's quiet. The ladies at the front desk were absolute rockstars. We just wanted to leave our backpacks and come back in the afternoon to check in but they let us check in when we got to the hotel at 8:30am without hesitation! They were super nice and friendly. There's a restaurant in front of the lobby. Our stay included breakfast but we left before breakfast hours. Our room was huge. Lots of cabinets and storage space. Our balcony had a nice view of Matterhorn and has two chairs. There's a separate living room with a TV, couch and seats, and a dining table. The bathroom was a good size with a separate shower and a tub. There are robes and slippers in the cabinet in the bedroom. A few steps outside the hotel, there are restaurants, cafes, chocolate shops, shopping, museum, a church and it's just picturesque. It's a beautiful place to be. They have little e-trucks that look like tuk tuks that can take guests/ luggage around/ to/from the train station. But we didn't need it since we didn't have luggage and the train station is like a 2-minute walk.

Had issues with the TV but staff came and fix the issue within 3 mins. They also offer free pickup/drop off from the train station. We choose this hotel due to its close proximity to the train station. No issues with notices from trains. Walking distance to city center. Front desk clerks all courteous and professionals! Satisfied with the breakfast spread. Enjoyed their assorted fruits, breads, cold cuts meats, hot items i.e. eggs/bacon. Hana did an amazing job/service during our two breakfast visits. Highly recommended when visiting Zermatt!

From our balcony (one of two in our room) we had a view of the Matterhorn mountain and the Kirchplatz town square where there were performances in the evening. The room was elegant and well-maintained. There was a living room area with a desk, a table for four, a sofa, coffee table, and a Bluetooth enabled stereosystem. There were two bathrooms and a walk-in closet area with four large closets. There was a television in each of the two principle areas. The hotel staff was great. They provided information about the local lifts, trains, spa-gym, restaurants, and other town services. When I mentioned that one of the multiple lightbulbs in one of the bathrooms was out, it was replaced in less than an hour. The hotel had WebCam views from the various mountain peaks. Use of the spa-gym was included. The breakfast at the hotel was excellent and complementary transportation was provided for the short trip to and from the train station.
