What’s right outside the door.

Furi · Zermatt · Matterhorn · from restaurant tips to ski passes

I don't rent you a package programme. I give you the map for six weeks of summer or the lift connection at the Matterhorn — and three restaurants I love best.

— 01 · Outside the door

What’s right next door.

Three picks that make every stay's list — summer or winter, depending on the season. All reachable in under ten minutes.

Furi · Zermatt · Sunnegga

Summer

Adventure world

Furi · 1 860 m

Suspension bridge over the Gorner Gorge, Glacier Trail, explorer path — the first steps are literally outside the chalet door.

Year-round

Mountain romance

Zermatt · Matterhorn

From the car-free village, ten minutes up to us by gondola. Sunset over the Matterhorn — different every day, always free.

Trail

Mountain biking · Sunnegga

E-bike rental in the valley, MTB trails from Sunnegga or Schwarzsee, flow lines for families — the lifts take the bike along.
