Our take
Hotel Schwarzsee is a mountain hotel at 2,583 metres, and I would book it for confident skiers who want to wake up on the slopes: ski-to-door access from the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise area, with the Schwarzsee gondola 100 metres away. Expect a restaurant, a sun terrace and boot-drying ski storage rather than a spa or village life. Panoramic Valais Alps views are the reward, and 293 reviews average 8.3.
- Book a room with a Matterhorn view for an unforgettable alpine panorama.
- Make use of the ski storage and boot-drying facilities to keep your gear ready for early mornings.
- Enjoy a meal on the sun terrace to soak in the high-altitude atmosphere and views.

Why guests love itStaying at Hotel Schwarzsee, perched at 2,583 metres, was an adventure our teenagers still talk about. Ski-to-door access from the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise ski area meant first tracks before the day crowds arrived, and the Schwarzsee gondola is only 100 metres away. The panoramic views over the Valais Alps were stunning from the sun terrace. The restaurant fed us well, and the boot dryers in the ski storage were a blessing.
