How to get there

This hotel/restaurant is located on the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise side of the Zermatt ski resort (south end of the village). You can reach this hotel/restaurant directly with a gondola, no extra walk necessary.

If you are just riding up to the hotel restaurant, get to the Zermatt-Furi gondola station at Schluhmattstrasse 121, 3920 Zermatt. Ride up to the Furi station and then to Schwarzsee station.

Note: Some gondolas lead to Trockener Steg or Matterhorn Glacier Paradise. Those are not the same direction. Make sure you are going direction Schwarzsee. Ask the staff if you aren't sure.

If you are skiing to the restaurant, you cannot ski directly to the restaurant, since it's on a hill. From Trockener Steg or Furgsattel, follow any ski run that leads to Furgg. Then do a short gondola ride up to Schwarzsee.
