Mountain restaurants

Our family runs this wonderful place of power in the fourth generation and is an oasis of relaxation for us and our guests.

OPEN AGAIN FROM JULY 25 (summer season)

We offer coffee, homemade tea blends, and cold drinks (including the popular homemade elderflower syrup). Delicious homemade cakes and something small for an aperitif are available.

Hermetje was built in 1889 and is one of Zermatt's most traditional mountain restaurants. The Hermetje mountain restaurant is easily accessible in 30 minutes from the Furri cable car station via the road to Bielti and then via the Larch path to Hermetje.

Mountain hikers on the Monte Rosa Tour can reach Hermetje on the ascent or descend to or from the Theodul Pass. On the descent from Schwarzsee, it is possible to reach Hermetje via the well-known wide hiking trail or via the romantic Alpine flower trail, which branches off to the right below the Schwarzsee chapel and runs across the beautiful Alpine meadows.

Enjoy the peace and the beautiful mountain scenery, we look forward to your visit.

Your Hermetjan team

The Hörnlihütte sits right at the foot of the Matterhorn. When you’re here, you don’t just take in the breathtaking view of the Zermatt Alps – you’re part of it. The menu features a selection of Swiss classics, but the Hörnlihütte’s speciality is the world-famous rösti and a piece of chocolate cake for dessert.

The ice buffet's varied menu offers something for everyone, whether skiers, hikers, sun worshippers or mountain bikers.
