Berggasthaus Trift

It’s a long way up to this 2337m-high mountain hut, but the two-hour hike from Zermatt is outstanding. At the foot of Triftgletscher, this haven offers simple, cosy rooms and a great terrace to kick back on and stare out at the mesmeric glacial landscape. Call in advance to ensure a bed and a friendly welcome at this family-run place.
