Spring in Zermatt

Spring arrives late in Zermatt, but when it does, it is magical. Crocuses, cyclamens and gentian bloom on the mountain pastures, and the marmots enjoy the sunshine as they emerge from hibernation. A trip on the Gornergrat Railway reveals the immense beauty of spring in the Alps.

Excursions

Enjoy the view of the Matterhorn from the Gornergrat, or visit the Glacier Palace at the Kleines Matterhorn – most of the mountain lifts run year-round. The railway station and the Gornergrat Railway are just a short walk from the Schlosshotel.
