10 Top-Rated Condos in Swiss Alps

April 27, 2023 Jana Sager

A magnet for skiers and hikers, these dramatic peaks – including the iconic Matterhorn – range from 3,000 to 15,000 feet and spread across three-fifths of the country. Abundant glaciers, scenic valleys and gorgeous alpine lakes add to the region's visual appeal. The Glacier Express train travels the 7.5-hour route through the Swiss Alps from Zermatt to St. Moritz, passing through fairy-tale villages and over 291 bridges along the way.

Great self catering apartments close to centre

Reviewed By LisaA6545

Lovely apartments in Zermatt. Close to station (10 minutes) bars and restaurants nearby. Electric bus stop 2 min walk away. Nice and peaceful felt quite and relaxing after busy days in mountain. Apartment had everything we needed. Plenty of space and a nice furnished balcony overlooking matterhorn. Really clean and WiFi seemed fine. Nice staff at hotel who can check you in or you can do self check in. We booked before covid and got cancelled so was able to use voucher and unbelievably, the deal was the same which was great as most prices have gone up since covid! Would recommend ?

Relaxing laid back self catering choice

Reviewed By LisaA6545

Lovely aparthotel that is central & easy to get to from station. Swimming pool with sunbeds to relax when back from sightseeing. Friendly staff, breakfast was included. It was great to have cooking facilities as Switzerland can be expensive for eating out. Central on lake - balcony was decked out nicely and pizzeria next door did marvelous gluten free take away pizzas so we were happy about this. Recommend this place if you want laid back, central, relaxing and a friendly self catering option.

Backstage Hotel Serviced Apartments

Cozy apartment with spectacular view (yellow apartment)

Reviewed By luxuryvoyage

The apartment yellow is from my point of view the best choice in this house. Large open living room with fireplace, huge window front and unobstructed view of the Matterhorn. Very bright apartment, because - compared to the apartments green and red no other houses cover the view. The master bedroom is spacious, with open bathroom and glass front to the living room. The yellow curtain privacy screen to the living room is impractical, here a roller shutter would be better. The kitchen is very small with minimal equipment, especially if more than 2 people live in the apartment. The apartment is cleaned daily. Very nice is the brand new spa with small sauna, steam bath, outdoor whirlpool (warm even in winter) and outdoor pool (not heated). In summer also nice outdoor terrace with deck chairs. Indoors, we found the relaxation area not comfortable. Great that the spa is exclusive to the guests of the 4 apartments, especially in the current covid time a significant advantage. In the house there is a small reception, which is staffed throughout the day and is available to guests for concerns. There is also the possibility to have breakfast brought to the apartment (we did not use). The house is 5-10 minutes walk to the center.

A very narrow “Vue” of Hospitality

Reviewed By LeDiscerningTraveler

We came to choose La Vue as an alternative to hotels in Zermatt as we were 3 couples interested in traveling together. The self-appointed “Luxury living” has great reviews and a nice marketing (website) that looks attractive but leaves a lot of inconvenient FACTS aside…: To start with: there are very limited views (“La vue” in French) from the building of the Matterhorn contrary to many pictures and most other hotels in Zermatt. Secondly, the location is on the opposite side of town from all gondolas or lifts to the slopes: it is made worse by the fact that you have to climb a steep and long (400 yards) street, followed by a tunnel and 2 elevators before you can be back into your room: if you don’t mind the first time coming back from a long skiing day, it gets old after a few outings even to go for dinner down to the main street…Of course, that “detail” is not stated anywhere on the brochure or website and you have to be there to realize it.Lst but not least, the building is sitting above a major school with loud children and teens screaming at every break between classes...Worst if you are in a unit facing town...!! Although the recently (2012) built building features simple but tasteful design and style as far as the 3 bedrooms apartment was concerned, the shared amenities (reception, Spa, lounge …) are quite limited and fall short of Luxury standards: the indoor Jacuzzi is small and serves as a pool (unlike the generous size real pools that other hotels that we got to visit (modern like the Omnia, Cervo, or older establishments like Mont Cervin Palace etc…).There is no gym or work out / biking machine and the Massage team and menu are quite limited and overpriced ( I actually went for a massage at the Mont Cervin Palace Spa with amenities that are of decent size with great, international team of trained masseuses and a dedicated Manager… As far as Help/ Service is concerned, this “Luxury living” falls short again: front desk help has patchy hours ( when not smoking outside), most of the times nobody was there at standard hours and we had to deal with at least 6 different ( young/ inexperienced) agents over our 7 days stay…Except for Daniel, their English and knowledge was at best sketchy and their attitude not so great…If nobody is there, you then have to call the main hotel reception (Julen group) for remote (and delayed) assistance. The “cinema” movie room was stacked with storage stuff that blocked a third of the room and we were told that they don’t offer any DVD movie library, you just have to bring your own content… The only redeeming features at la Vue for us was a very abundant and quality breakfast served in room at the time of your choosing. When we went to the Omnia Hotel for a fine dinner, a few blocks away, we discovered an incredibly friendly and helpful reception staff even to outside guests, a great library/lounge bar/ area, an impressive pool and jacuzzi facing real Matterhorn views , and , of course, our dinner at their restaurant was incredible with great menus by a talented Chef and well trained, international caliber waiting staff. The bottom line is that it really seems that beyond the great Design and architecture job invested in 10 years ago, the Julen group owners of this place have no idea what Luxury and Service mean and entail…Not surprisingly, In the one major Holyday week before Xmas that we stayed there, we didn’t even see ONCE a senior manager on duty supervising operations…(the one featured online was certainly too busy somewhere else…). It seems very much like that this place , initially funded by a local owner of several consumer businesses (budget hotels, Retail etc…) is treating this property like a cash machine without any real understanding of what international Luxury standards entails and without any professional , onsite overview from a real General manager who would keep an eye on everything and be dedicated to the delivery of quality of service and excellence: even in the many 5 stars hotels I had the opportunity to stay around the world, I always got , even during a short few days stay, to see or personally meet the General Manager who was actively supervising operations on the ground and available and eager to interact with guests for feedback and potential improvement… In contrast, La Vue must think that they already offer you the infinite privilege of their real estate investment so they don’t feel any real obligation or commitment there to Hospitality or Service: just be aware of that FUNDAMENTAL FACT not featured on their website before you decide to spend like us more than $ 14 000 for a week compared to better, true Hospitality / hotel alternatives mentioned above that Zermatt has to offer to a discerning clientele…

Super schön. Alles neu, gepflegt und super modern. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich und eine kleine Einführung in das Zimmer, gab es anschließend auch. Die Minibar war mit leckeren Getränken gefüllt und einen guten Cappuccino konnte man sich am Empfang holen. Leider hatten wir eine Nacht verloren, aufgrund einer Autopanne. :( Wären gerne noch länger geblieben, aber die Reise musste weiter gehen. :) Wir kommen super gerne wieder und wir sind einfach nur happy, dass unser Urlaub nach der Panne endlich so schön beginnen konnte.:)

Good location, good facility for an appartment hotel. Nice sauna and rest room Yet, if tou have kids and you're not a cleaning freak, that's not the place for you The lady owner is watching every step you make, checking even if you drop the garbage before you're leaving Towel change is a dream. We were never asked if needed Some rooms are newly refurbished, some are old. We were not that lucky

Finally something new and fresh in San Bernardino

Reviewed By quattromonti

This super high tech hotel just opened its doors on the 31. July 2013 and we were probably one of the first clients at all! If you are looking for a super cheap accommodation in the Swiss Alps but don't want to compromise on comfort such as en suite wc/shower, LCD TV, free wi-fi, super central location well then this brand new hotel is for you! True there is no service as this is a fully "computerized" hotel but when you book you can add everything from breakfast at the vis-a-vis Brocco & Posta hotel or entrance at another nearby hotel swimming pool! No frills but all the comfort you really need. We will definitely be back! And "bravo" to the people that have had the guts to try something new in the not really "cutting edge" village of San Bernardino :-)
