Riffelalp Resort 2222m: The Highest Grand Hotel in the Alps

Riffelalp Resort 2222m is the highest five-star resort in the Alps, perched at 2,222 metres on the Gornergrat cog railway above Zermatt, with an unbroken, front-row view of the Matterhorn. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader reached only by mountain train, it is famous for its open-air spa pool, the highest in Europe, where guests soak facing the great peak.

The dining spans the mountain. Restaurant Alexandre offers fine dining with Matterhorn views under chef Luigi Lafranco; Ristorante Al Bosco brings dolce vita with its Matterhorn-shaped pizza; Restaurant Walliserkeller serves fondue and raclette by the open fire in winter; and the slopeside BAR 2'222m completes the offering.

For a spectacular, high-altitude Zermatt stay, Riffelalp is without equal.
