The location of this hotel is amazing. The view of Matterhorn, the approximity to Rifflesee, the ease of hiking anywhere around to see nature, it’s all so amazing. To make it better, the complementary breakfast and dinner tastes so great. The rooms are clean, spacious, and cozy. The spa is amazing with a view of Matterhorn from the sauna and the hot tub.
