Dining
The on-site restaurant serves Valais specialties and authentic local cuisine, with a free breakfast buffet included for all guests. Outdoor dining with mountain views is available on the sunny terrace with BBQ facilities. The bar offers wine and champagne, and special diet menus can accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free diets.

Ski-to-door access, a ski pass vendor, and ski storage allow direct mountain access in winter. The hotel coordinates hiking packages and bike tours with local guides, and offers tennis equipment and water sport facilities on site. Golfers have access to the nearby Golf Club Matterhorn, and the Matterhorn Glacier is 15 minutes away by car.
