Rooms with Matterhorn Views

Hotel Capricorn offers rooms with private bathrooms, cable TV, and balconies. Some rooms face the Matterhorn, while others overlook Zermatt village. Family rooms and suites include tea/coffee makers and seating areas. All rooms have free Wi-Fi, electric kettles, and hairdryers.

Dining at Hotel Capricorn

Breakfast is served daily with options for dietary restrictions. All food and drinks must be purchased from the hotel. Special requests require prior agreement, and the hotel may charge a service fee.

Wellness & Guided Hikes

The spa includes a sauna, steam bath, outdoor whirlpool, and massage services (adults only). Guided hikes with discounted rates are available for hotel guests. Skiing is best in March and April, with trails ranging from 1,400 to 3,100 meters.

Location in Zermatt

The hotel is in a car-free area, a 15-minute walk from Zermatt's center. Nearby landmarks include Obere Matten playground (0.5 km), Sunnegga (2 km), and Stellisee (0.5 km). Sion is 80 km away.

Guest Services & Policies

Groups must confirm final numbers 14 days before arrival. Lost key cards incur a CHF 10 fee. The hotel stores lost items for 3 months before transferring them to local authorities. Pets require proof of insurance.

“Rooms here are individually designed, setting it apart, and many offer Matterhorn views that are simply unforgettable. The wellness area, complete with a spa, adds a layer of relaxation after a day on the slopes or trails. I think its location strikes a perfect balance - nestled in a quiet, car-free area, yet still a short walk to the village center.”
