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.

The generous Solaria resort is owned by our family and is run by us with our team with a lot of heart and soul. We are personal, reliable and honest; this in a friendly and attentive atmosphere.
Very comfortable and spacious apartment with all the needed amenities and very close to the cross-country skiing slopes. 10min walk to shops and grocery stores (main street of the village). Safe and quiet location. The perfect spot!

Comfy and bright rooms, generous breakfast, and most of all, great service; the owner lives and breathes hospitality. The restaurant is quite good too, using locally, organically sourced products as much as possible. We stayed for two nights and recommend it to anyone traveling through Valle Maggia.

I don t know how others are, but i do believe in change! Change comes to those who DREAM it and Take desperate actions to make it happen. WHY i start with this, well because i hope the management of this place will read my comment and Take actions. Ok As a trip advisor member, i have 3 options: 1.I write a good comment,give maximal score, let the Owner of this place think he runs his business perfectly, and wait for the next negative comments. 2.I write a NEGATIVE comment, put some "ugly pictures", and let competițion win. 3.I tell my version of the story,put my best pictures i took during my stay, which reflect my REALITY, let the readers know what went wrong, let the owner know my version of the story, and hope some things will change. Start: We came here Last friday after a loooong way to persuade French to book me(us) a room. First, we live in Aminona, which is The other side of the valley,so every morning when i wake up I wonder what s up there,and to be Honest my first reason was to return home with a perfect image of Vercorin, the little Village that lies în front of us. We chosed "Les Mazots" as I ve liked their concept, some cottages (sort of speak) transformed into chalets, an approach that many architects in the Valley already apply. The basic principle of this concept is to preserve the soul of old buildings(usually cottages left in ruin) while making the home as comfortable and as ecological as possible.Before our arrival i ve tried to find some Informations about the architect who builded this amazing place, but i could not. We chosed "Le Poete" Chalet, as for me personally it looked the Best. Pictures did not lie, în fact "Le Poete" was even more spacious than we ve expected and with a view over the valley that will remain printed în The back of my head all my life:stunning! Before our arrival i was basically sweating under my arms, i was so nervos and so excited, and not even the cold that took over my body(i got sick just two days before our trip) could keep me home that day. I had great expectations of this place, really. CHECK IN:Well, first no-go! We ve booked through Booking and aparently there is a bad comunication between Booking and Les Mazots. We had to wait a few minutes until the LADY at the reception realized that our booking was confirmed and payed.A 100 chf deposit was charged as nor i nor French did not have a credit card with us, which was fair. We were shown our Mazot,the Poete, and I must admit, it looked even better than în The pictures. First fear was that it was cold, me being sick, but no:The temperature was like în Egypt, hot and the place was cozy. NO COMPLEMENTARY BOTTTLE OF WATER, NO COFFEE PADS, NO CHOCOLATE,just 3 teas and 4 sugars. Which was salutary as I needed the tea în this period.smile smile Although the place looked great and quality of sleep exceeded my expectations, i could not close an eye due to my flu, so i chosed to watch "Wolf Totem", the movie and listen to Gheorghe Zamfir - Lonely Shepard....drink teas and watch the full moon illuminating the Valey of Rhone, yes that night it was a full moon and the view was amazing. My mind drifted to egypt, but about that i shall tell you în May. Smile smile Breakfast experience:At 9 am breakfast starts. For the people who want to ski, it s a bit late. We were the first to have Breakfast, and all i can say is that for 12 persons who joined the room that morning 4 small croissants, 3 thin baguettes, and 1 plate of cheese and one of local meat plus some yougurts and gem and Nutella was not too much.When the plate of meat was empty, it took 10 minutes for an employee to refill it, actually it was half refilled. About The Spa Experience: i shall just say that the entry at the spa is 40 chf/HOUR per person. I totally disliked the lack of information at the Reception, the ia ne znaiu "attitude about The prices and the limite Time. Yes, i booked through a site where the spa facilities and prices are NOT SHOWN, and in The Last minute i found that the price for ONE HOUR in their spa is 40 chf, a bit expensive for what they offer. Makes me imagine, what if i did not know the prices and the conditions,i would have had 3 possibilities: 1.most likely, after one hour someone would disturb my silence telling me that the hour i ve payed for îs over, so i had to get out. 2.very likely, they would let me spend 3 hours inside their sauna, as I usually do, charging me there after from my credit card 3.very unlikely:they would let me spend my time in their spa, without charging me extra, as their motto îs "first and foremost costomer satisfaction" With the hope that Trip Advisors watch the Photos more than they read long borring comments, with the hope that Reception will make a double check on cleaning instead of writing mean answerd to their clients, i ll end my comment here. The END!

This lovely chalet was built brand new for Ski Total guests in a quiet area of Zermatt between Winkelmatten and Steinmatten, and only approx. five minutes walk from the resort centre and was hugely popular during its first season last winter.
Seit die Wohnung Lea wieder durch die Eigentümer selbst vermietet wird, hat sich vieles geändert. Neues Mobiliar und neue Einrichtung. Sauber und zuvorkommend - rundum ein perfekter Urlaub. Danke für die Gastfreundschaft. Wir kommen wieder.
