Description

Whether under the bright sunshine of summer or in the magical winter wonderland, Blauherd proves to be the perfect starting point for exploring the majestic mountain world of Zermatt in all its splendour. 

Mountain carts from Blauherd
Whether you're a racer, adventurer, downhiller, adrenaline junkie or simply want to experience something new. Mountain carting could become your new favourite experience in Zermatt! Because it's a rapid descent down the mountain - from Blauherd (2,578 metres above sea level) to Sunnegga (2,288 metres above sea level). That's almost 300 metres in altitude and countless moments full of action and fun! 

Speedy rides on the slopes
In winter, skiers can take the gondolas, chairlifts and finally the aerial cableway up to the Rothorn. This is the start of the adventure on the sun-drenched slopes of the Rothorn. At Blauherd, the Blue Lounge has become a favourite place for sun-seekers to relax and enjoy the view of the Matterhorn from the terrace. 

Alpine Lounge
Taking responsibility for the environment - the Alpine Lounge not only invites guests to linger in its pleasant atmosphere, but also draws visitors' attention to various environmental issues in the area. From snow and ice to fauna and flora to information about the Alps, you will find a wealth of informative and exciting facts here.
