The Mont Cervin Palace has been the grande dame of Zermatt since 1852, the flagship of the pioneering Seiler family on the car-free Bahnhofstrasse, in the shadow of the Matterhorn. It set the standard for Alpine hospitality in the birthplace of mountaineering tourism and remains one of the most refined addresses in the Valais.
The dining is a highlight. Ristorante Capri holds a Michelin star for its Mediterranean cuisine under chef Salvatore Elefante; Grill Le Cervin serves market-fresh meat and fish from the wood-fired grill; and Le Restaurant - Fish & Seafood offers a wide range of carefully sourced fish and crustaceans, both under chef René Kokelkoren.
For a grand, classic Zermatt stay, the Mont Cervin Palace is a benchmark.
