Mountain Hotel at 2583m with Ski-to-Door Access and Matterhorn Views
Location & Ski Access
Hotel Schwarzsee sits at an altitude of 2583 metres with direct ski-to-door access from the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise Ski Area. The Schwarzsee Gondola Lift is 100 metres from the hotel, providing the only practical access from Zermatt. Guests have views of the Valais Alps and Matterhorn from the property, with ski storage and boot-drying facilities available on site.
Room Types & Amenities
Rooms at Hotel Schwarzsee come with either private or shared bathroom facilities, and some offer a balcony with views of the Matterhorn or Zermatt. The Quadruple Room with Shared Bathroom has bunk beds and a sink, while the Twin Room with Shared Bathroom also caters to groups. Free WiFi is available throughout the hotel, and heating is provided in all rooms.
Dining & Breakfast
A buffet breakfast with fresh ingredients is prepared each morning, and the hotel restaurant serves international and traditional dishes. Half-board accommodation includes a three-course dinner with a choice between a meat-based and a vegetarian main course. The restaurant also offers a lunch menu for skiers and day tourists, with regional specialties such as fondue and Riz Casimir.
Pet-Friendly & Practical Amenities
Hotel Schwarzsee accepts pets and provides pet bowls for furry guests. The property offers luggage storage, key access, and fire extinguishers for safety. Non-smoking rooms are available throughout, and the sun terrace provides outdoor relaxation with Matterhorn views.
Activities & Surroundings
Several hiking trails can be found in the area, including routes to the Hörnli Hütte and the Glacier Trail. Skiers benefit from being on the slopes before the gondola starts bringing day visitors, and the hotel remains quiet after the last lift closes. Guests can observe chamois grazing around the hotel, and the night sky offers stargazing opportunities due to the remote location.
Highlights
Altitude: 2583 metres with Matterhorn views
Access: 100 metres from Schwarzsee Gondola Lift
Skiing: Ski-to-door access from Matterhorn Glacier Paradise
Dining: Half-board with buffet breakfast and three-course dinner
“Hotel Schwarzsee is undeniably a haven for ski enthusiasts, offering unparalleled ski-in/ski-out access directly from its doorstep amidst the slopes. Its commanding position affords truly breathtaking Matterhorn vistas, complemented by well-prepared, hearty evening meals that create an intimate mountain dining experience. While the shared facilities are clean and functional, the true draw here is the immersive alpine setting and the genuine warmth of the staff.”
