Warm, family-run hospitality, contemporary Alpine design and sustainability: Rofel Zermatt combines the story of a local family with modern holiday comfort.
Located in the heart of Zermatt, in a peaceful yet central setting, Rofel Zermatt welcomes guests to its contemporary holiday apartments, offering direct views of the Matterhorn. The property combines modern architecture with Alpine charm, providing a personal retreat for an unforgettable winter holiday in the Swiss Alps.
Behind Rofel lies the story of a local family. In 1982, Margrit and Theodor built the original chalet as a home for their family. In 2024, they decided to preserve the property for future generations by replacing it with a new building, together with the next generation of the family. The two holiday apartments are named after the grandparents – Margit and Theodor – keeping the family's roots alive.
The bright apartments feature natural materials, high-quality furnishings and spacious windows overlooking the Matterhorn and the surrounding mountain scenery. After a day on the ski slopes, the private balcony offers the perfect place to relax. A ski room with a ski boot dryer provides additional comfort during the winter season. Thanks to the proximity of the Sunnegga funicular and the village centre, mountain activities, restaurants and shopping facilities are all within easy reach.
Sustainability is an integral part of the concept. The new building was constructed predominantly using locally sourced wood and is heated by an energy-efficient air-source heat pump. Wherever possible, the host family also works with local partners and uses environmentally friendly cleaning products.
At Rofel Zermatt, guests experience not only the mountain world surrounding the Matterhorn, but also the personal hospitality of a local family – authentic, comfortable and with great attention to detail.
