Relais & Chateaux Schönegg
Matterhorn views, mountain elevator access, and fine dining
About this hotel
The Relais & Chateaux Schönegg provides a unique Zermatt experience, set on a hill with panoramic Matterhorn views. Access to the village centre is effortless thanks to a dedicated mountain elevator, ensuring convenience without sacrificing tranquility. Rooms are well-appointed with minibars and cable TV, and most include a balcony to enjoy the alpine scenery. Suites offer additional seating areas for relaxation. Dining is a highlight, with a daily breakfast buffet featuring local products and an on-site restaurant boasting a sun terrace with striking mountain vistas. The Sunnegga Ski Area is just 80 metres from the tunnel exit, and the Gornergrat Railway is a short 200 metres away, making it ideal for exploring the slopes.

Why guests love itRelais & Chateaux Schönegg is perched above Zermatt, and the private mountain elevator up from the village centre was an adventure in itself for our kids. The Matterhorn views from the hotel were breathtaking, especially from the restaurant's sun terrace at lunchtime. Our room had a minibar and cable TV for quiet evenings. The 24-hour reception was reassuring with children, and the ski areas are close by.
