Zermatt, mountain restaurant capital of the world, has thirty eight mountain restaurants, in three linked skiing areas.
Restaurants are organised by ski area, each area listed below has a dedicated webpage showing restaurant locations with links to information about each individual restaurant.
Just about every restaurant has spectacular views of the Matterhorn and mountains, so choose a restaurant, stop for lunch, elevenses or afternoon drinks and enjoy.

The Rothorn/Sunnegga area encompasses Sunnegga, Blauherd, Rothorn and Findeln.
Sunnegga, as the name suggests, really is a suntrap. From Sunnegga, ski down to Findeln, home to five mountain restaurants, including
our favourite in Zermatt, Chez Vrony.
Gornergrat, is served by the Gornergrat railway
and offers views of twenty nine peaks of 4000m plus. For easy access try the
Kulm Hotel at the top of the mountain or for novelty, the
Igloo Dorf offering both red and white gluhwein.
 Last but no means least the
Klein Matterhorn area offers the highest skiing and closest views of the Matterhorn.
It can get very cold and windy
at times, but when the sun is shining the snow here will be the best in the resort.
For great service and good food, try the Schwarsee Hotel at the top of the Schwarsee bubble.
We have visited and reviewed thirty four mountain restaurants in Zermatt and rated them on their food, service and gluhwein.
