Hotel Ambassador, Zermatt
We all enjoyed staying here! The food was good and the staff in the restaurant were very friendly. We had a half board holiday and ate in the hotel, we ate out on the mountain one day but it was dead expensive so we didn’t eat out much. One of the things we really enjoyed was the dinners. All the food was grea...

A really great hotel. You’re very close to the centre, literally 3 minutes from the rail station. Despite this, the rooms were very quiet because Zermatt has no traffic, only electric cars, so we slept very well. Both the lift and bus are 3 minutes from the hotel, the Gornergrat Bahn lift goes all the way up t...

We had a brilliant holiday and the hotel was really good. The rooms were a little bit dated and could do with being re-done (we had a double) but the foyer, swimming pool and sauna area were all very modern. We had morning and evening meals in the hotel, breakfast was reasonable (what you’d expect from a conti...

Everything with the hotel was fine – I can’t really fault it! The room we had was fine and we were on half board (food was OK, not brilliant but then you get that with ski holidays). They did a buffet in the mornings where you had hot choices as well, and in the evenings the meals were served to your table. T...

The hotel was great! The reception area, spa and pool are all very beautifully designed, with really sleek Scandinavian design. You come into a really nice area when you walk in the hotel but when you come off the lift into the corridor to the bedrooms, everything is very dated and 70’s which was a little disa...

This package holiday to Hotel Ambassador in Zermatt, Switzerland departs Monday 18th March 2019, for a 3 night stay on a "bed & breakfast" board basis.
A local tourist tax (Taxe de Sejour or Kurtaxe) is levied by many councils in European ski resorts. It varies by standard and type of accommodation and is age dependent, so not everyone is charged. It's not included in the basic price of your holiday and is usually paid locally. For reference, the average charged in winter 15/16 was between 50p and £2 per person, per night.

Zermatt belongs to Switzerland’s Valais canton, which rubs shoulders with the Italian Alps. You’ll find it surrounded by nearly a third of Europe’s 4000m peaks and - most notably - right at the foot of the Matterhorn. Even if you haven’t heard of this mountain, chances are you’d recognise it - national landmark of Switzerland, inspiration for the Toblerone and a peak photographed more than any other.
Besides blow-your-beanie-off scenery, these mighty mountains come with a cool climate, ever-white glac...
There are 200km of runs in the local area alone and a massive 360km overall if you count the Italian side of the Matterhorn too. Together with Cervina, Zermatt forms the 'Matterhorn Ski Paradise' where SNO lovers of all abilities are blessed with high altitude terrain - and lots of it! Everyone’s a winner in a ski area this big and brilliant, but if we had to pick where it really shines, we’d say it’s especially fantastic for intermediate and advanced level skiers and snowboarders.
If you’re a keen begi...
Zermatt was voted the world’s best après ski resort by the World Snow Awards in 2012, making it a wise choice if you want a whale of a time post-skiing. Sure – it doesn’t come cheap, but if you want quality, you won’t find better.
Across sixty bars and numerous nightclubs, you can relax, unwind and party through the night. Harry’s Bar is the place to dance to cheesy pop and Papperla offers a pubby atmosphere but you can’t come to Zermatt without being tempted into the Hennu Stall (at the end of the Fu...
