Restaurants

Few Alpine resorts can rival Zermatt when it comes to the sheer breadth and calibre of its restaurant offering. The settings alone span centuries of architectural character, from ancient timber mountain cabanes warmed by open fires to striking contemporary spaces that would hold their own in any great European city. Whether the occasion calls for a candlelit fondue at a beloved local favourite such as Restaurant Schäferstube, or a consummate gastronomic evening at the two Michelin-starred After Seven, Zermatt delivers with quiet confidence at every turn.

The resort's unique position on the Swiss-Italian border opens up a further dimension of culinary pleasure. Guests may ski directly across into Italy to dine at celebrated establishments such as Chalet Etoile, sampling authentic Italian cuisine at altitude with the drama of the mountains all around. Back on the Swiss side, a long, leisurely lunch on the sun-drenched terrace at Chez Vrony, with its sweeping views across the valley, remains one of the most memorable ways to spend an afternoon in the Alps.

At Alpine Collection, we consider the dining experience an intrinsic part of any exceptional mountain stay. Our team holds deep, current knowledge of Zermatt's restaurant landscape and is delighted to assist guests with recommendations and reservations tailored to their tastes, ensuring that every evening, and every mountain lunch, becomes a highlight of the visit.
