Our take
Hotel Cheminee earns its place through location: it stands directly opposite the Sunnegga cable car, so the first ride of the day is a few steps from the door. Rooms have country-style decor, many with balconies and some with Matterhorn views, which is worth requesting. The restaurant serves traditional grilled food, and the garden terrace suits sunny afternoons. Ski storage is provided. Guests give this three-star 8.7 from 695 reviews. I would book it for skiers who rank lift access above spa facilities, which the listing does not mention.
- Ask for a room with a Matterhorn view when booking to enhance your stay.
- Take advantage of the ski storage facilities to keep your gear organized and dry.
- Enjoy a traditional grilled meal at the hotel's restaurant for an authentic local experience.

- Matterhorn views from select rooms
- Traditional alpine atmosphere
- Convenient ski storage facilities
Why guests love itHotel Cheminee is directly opposite the Sunnegga cable car, so our kids were on their way to the slopes within minutes of finishing breakfast. Our country-style room had a balcony, and we managed to get one of the rooms with a Matterhorn view. Dinners of traditional grilled food were a hit with the whole family, and the garden terrace was lovely on sunny afternoons. Ski storage and free WiFi round it off.
