Our establishment has direct access to more than 160 km long ski slopes of all levels of difficulty in a unique Alpine panorama in winter. Both beginners and experienced skiers will have great fun in an exceptional, sunny mountain area where deep snow is guaranteed (up to a height of 3600 m), amidst the high Alps.
In the summer the hotel is the ideal starting point from which to make 350 km long walking tours in this unique mountain panorama. Popular health resorts such as Locarno and Ascona in the Ticino canton are on the same line of latitude. Despite this high alpine setting the climate here is mild and well-balanced, which is proven by the uncommon height of the forest border as well as the abundant, glorious alpine flora.
There are many destinations in the surroundings which are easily accessible by car: Zermatt (39 km), Matterhorn, Gornergrat, Klein-Matterhorn, Saas-Fee (7 km), Saas-Grund (4 km), the dam Mattmark (6 km) or the Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in Europe.
