Wedding in Zermatt: summer vs winter at the Riffelalp Resort 2222m. Text: Riffelalp Resort 2222m and Zermatt Tourism
Intro
The Riffelalp Resort and its breath-taking surroundings provide the perfect scenery for every princess and her prince for a romantic fairytale wedding. The backdrop for the most wonderful day of your life consists of the spectacular mountain panorama and the exceptional nature that surrounds the hotel.
Intro
Step down the tree-lined path to one of our two chapels, in which you can exchange your vows. Both chapels can be reached by foot from the Riffelalp Resort. The «Herz Jesu» chapel built in 1886 is ideal for Catholic and Protestant weddings only, while in our second, equally romantic «The Church» chapel, Evangelical or ecumenical marriages and ceremonies with celebrants can be organised.
Tell us what you want and we'll make your wishes come true. For you and your friends! Open-air cocktail reception and Gala Dinner in one of our restaurants: the gourmet cuisine of Luigi Lafranco and his creative team look after the physical well-being of the wedding party.
Intro
The Riffelalp is also a picturesque location for your wedding photos! Your supporting actor, the Matterhorn, is directly opposite and makes every shot a masterpiece.
Zermatt in winter
Admittedly, it may not be modest to call ourselves the “Home of Winter”, but Zermatt – Matterhorn has a good reason for doing so. The destination has been named Best Ski Resort for the fourth time – this is the most important award for ski areas in the Alps. And when it comes to winter, snow and sun, very few places in the world can lay claim to quite so many superlatives.
Zermatt in summer
Experiences at the foot of a glacier, on a green alpine meadow, at an idyllic mountain lake. Is it to be an unforgettable mountain tour – in the face of the highest and most beautiful mountains in the alps? Or an excursion to comfortably get to the top of a mountain peak?
