Valais

Et meget dejligt hotel. Værelset har udsigt til Matterhorn. Vi nød vores ophold der utroligt meget. Lidt langt fra togstationen, men hotellet tilbyder shuttletransport ved check-in og check-ud.

Beliggenheden er fantastisk, og værelset er rent og komfortabelt med et lille kig til Matterhorn. Det eneste problem er, at puden er papirtynd; jeg ville have sovet meget bedre med en bedre pude.

Convenient Transportation: It's only one stop away from Zermatt, very close. The hotel also offers a taxi service, which is cheaper than a train ticket. Service: They offer a spa, which is very comfortable. Hotel Location: It's directly across from the Täsch train station, very convenient.

Overall Experience: The hotel was very cozy and comfortable, clean, and the breakfast was good. The transportation was also super convenient, with the station about a 5-minute walk away. Serious Safety and Privacy Issues (Hotel must address this!) The room door lock could not be deadbolted from the inside, meaning someone from the outside could open the door and enter at any time. This severely compromised my sense of security and privacy! What was even more infuriating was that my check-out time was 11:00 AM. At approximately 10:55 AM, while I was still undressed and packing my luggage, a staff member suddenly opened the door without knocking or confirming, urging me to check out. The person saw that I was undressed, and instead of immediately closing the door and stepping away, they actually left the door wide open and stood there talking to me for a full 2 minutes! It was absolutely speechless and infuriating 🙄. Suggestions for Improvement: 1. Please respect guest privacy! Always knock and confirm before check-out, instead of directly using a code or key to open the door! 2. Regarding check-out time, I hope the hotel can be a bit more flexible for a few minutes, or at least provide a reminder at the designated time, rather than intruding before the time is up. 3. Please upgrade the room door locks as soon as possible to include an internal deadbolt (safety latch) function / provide a "Do Not Disturb" sign!

Vi tog dertil i højsæsonen i august. Hvis vi ankom til Zermatt station kl. 6.40, kunne vi nå det første tog kl. 7 om morgenen og nemt sikre os pladser i højre side til alle seks personer. Der var heller ikke så mange turister ved udsigtspunktet, så vi kunne tage alle de billeder, vi ville. Souvenirbutikken ved udsigtspunktet åbnede kl. 9 om morgenen, og selvom de søde Gornergrat-eksklusive T-shirts i størrelse M og L var ved at løbe tør, lykkedes det os at få fat i nogle. På vejen tilbage vandrede vi fra Rotenboden til Riffelberg, og vejret var godt, så vi kunne se Matterhorn spejle sig i søen. Man kan godt klare sig med sneakers, men da der er sten og stejle stier, er vandrestøvler at foretrække. Det var koldt oppe, men da vi kom ned, var det ekstremt varmt på grund af hedebølgen, så en let dunjakke, der kan tages af og på, er et must. Jeg tog også min Heattech-undertrøje af ved Riffelberg.

Smukt sted! Vores guide var meget tålmodig og guidede os godt!

Matterhorn Glacier Paradise er simpelthen betagende. Når du tager svævebanen op til 3.883 meters højde, belønnes du med panoramaudsigt over mere end 14 alpetoppe, der strækker sig over Schweiz, Italien og Frankrig. Gletsjerpaladset – en ishule udskåret dybt inde i gletsjeren – er et magisk højdepunkt med fantastiske isskulpturer og et surrealistisk blåt skær, der føles overjordisk. Billetten er absolut hver en franc værd. Infrastrukturen er imponerende, turen er behagelig, og udsigten på toppen vil gøre dig målløs. Uanset om du er skiløber, vandrer eller blot en naturelsker, er dette et alpeeventyr, du ikke vil gå glip af. Et must-do i Zermatt!

Vi elskede vores tur, men det ville have været bedre, hvis guiden havde fortalt os, at vi skulle forberede os på højden. Jeg blev svimmel og ør, da vi nåede den højeste top. Det ville være bedst at advare os om det. Men booking via Klook gjorde det nemt! Udsigten var det hele værd!!!

It was difficult to tell which bus was ours; a slightly larger logo would have made it easier. The guide tried very hard to explain everything, but I wondered how I would get down the mountain if I felt unwell. I wish there had been more information about what "English assistant only" meant, so I could have been better prepared. By the way, the assistant didn't go up the mountain with us; they just gave us tickets and instructions, telling us to go and come back on our own, and that they'd provide a phone number. Despite this uncertainty, the weather was good, and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
