Hotels in Matterhorn, Switzerland

The Matterhorn region straddles Switzerland and Italy, famous for its iconic pyramid-shaped peak that towers 14,692 feet (4,478 meters) above Zermatt and Cervinia. In winter, the snow-covered slopes offer over 200 miles of ski runs with temperatures often between 20°F and 40°F (-6°C to 4°C), while summer brings hiking along the 5 Lakes Trail with views of the mountain reflecting in Stellisee Lake. You can ride the Gornergrat Railway for panoramic vistas year-round, and in July and August, the average highs hit 65°F (18°C)-perfect for climbing the Hörnli Hut route up to the shoulder of the peak.
