“With Zermatt being a reasonably expensive resort, we decided to go for a ‘better value’ hotel, the 2* Hotel Atlanta.
We paid extra for a Matterhorn View, and requested a high floor room. To be honest, we weren’t really expecting great things.
What we got, however, was probably the most amazing view I’ve ever had. Uninterupted views of the Matterhorn, and sweeping views of the whole of Zermatt, with only a few hotels being noticably higher than our balcony.
I ended up taking loads of photos, of which I think this is the best.
The hotel was also very well located for the restaurants and bars, and just a short walk from the railway station.
Note: Definitely request a high floor room, our friends were 2 floors below us, and their view wasn’t anything like as impressive (but still nice).”

“A lovely view from one of the rooms of LeCrans Hotel & Spa. All rooms with the mountain view have the same nice view. This picture has been taken during the beginning of the Winter season.”

“This hotel is one of the best to get a room with a view of the Matterhorn. This
shot was taken at 4am just as the sun came up and clipped the top of the
Matterhorn. It was lucky that I was awake just at the right minute, because this
doesn’t last but a few minutes. “

“This room was found in the picturesque mountain village of Crans-Montana, in the heart of the Swiss Alps. Every balcony had fresh flowers growing on it and provided a view down the street of the towering mountains.”

“The chalets are really nice. You can easily get to the Barrage de la Grande-Dixence (Grande Dixence Dam/tallest european dam) to Sion (the next biggest city), there are also pretty impressive glaciers (like the Aletsch Glacier) and valleys. During the winter this region is a ski resort.”
