Fun in the Alps

It is a hotel you want to spend time in, meet with other guests and enjoy a hot chocolate while gazing at the Matterhon. Zermatt, dominated by the Matterhorn is a rare place where everything is in synergy. The historic village has oodles of charm and the high street is lined with luxury … Continue reading Fun in the Alps
