Romance & Luxury
Romantic & Luxury Zermatt
Matterhorn-sunrise rooms, spa retreats, chalet suites and the quietly luxurious side of the car-free village — Zermatt for two.

The short version
- ✓The Matterhorn turns pink at first light — a sunrise room is the one indulgence worth paying for.
- ✓Grand hotels on and above the Bahnhofstrasse pair spas with direct views of the peak.
- ✓A private cog ride to Gornergrat at dawn is the quietly extravagant version of the village's signature trip.
- ✓Quiet, vertical and car-free, the whole village leans romantic out of season.
The quietly luxurious village
Zermatt's luxury is restraint: larch and stone, a spa with the peak in the window, a long terrace lunch and the hush of a village with no traffic. For couples the appeal is the same thing that defines the place — you arrive by rail, you slow down, and the Horu settles every argument about where to look.
