Three decades of expertise, three restaurants, three buildings, three swimming pools and a three-storey spa, but when it comes to stars, Resort La Ginabelle is definitely in the top four-star category. In fact, it is regularly singled out in the various rankings for the quality of its welcome, particularly for families.

What every type of customer appreciates, of course, is accessibility, choice, comfort, service and views. The hotel is less than 5 minutes’ walk from the funicular and the station, and features different types of accommodation in the two wings of Hotel La Ginabelle and in the recently inaugurated Altiana residence. The complex remains on a human scale (66 units). The south-facing apartments, rooms and junior suites offer guests a view of the Matterhorn that’s hard to get enough of. For a change of pace, the spa welcomes guests to a 1,000 m2 cocoon of plenitude, where therapists can pamper them with the full range of treatments. The Zermatt hay bath and hot stone massage are among the classics. Children have their own club, parents their own bars and lounges, and the three restaurants rival each other in gourmet delights. In the kitchen, the brigade draws on a wealth of experience in the Michelin-starred world, and gives their all in their culinary creations for every meal. The Abgottspon-Schell family of hoteliers also thinks of future generations, and has placed an early emphasis on sustainable development: “Thanks to the use of geocooling in summer and geothermal energy in winter, we produce CO2-neutral air conditioning for all rooms in the Altiana residence, as well as for heating the outdoor swimming pool. Electricity is generated from local hydropower”. So many reasons to choose La Ginabelle for your next stay in Zermatt, summer or winter. Matthias Abgottspon was our choice during the Matterhorn Ultraks!
