“For a Zermatt stay that doesn't break the bank, this family-run hotel near the train station hits the spot, emphasizing traditional hospitality. I found the on-site dining especially appealing, serving hearty Walliser dishes, while the sauna and solarium are a welcome treat after a day on the slopes.
