Kulmhotel Gornergrat

At 3100m, Switzerland’s highest hotel, at the top of the Gornergratbahn cogwheel railway, appeals to those who like the atmosphere and views of an Alpine hut, but shiver at the thought of thin mattresses and icy water. The sleek rooms offer downy duvets and picture-perfect views. When the crowds leave, the solitude and panoramas at this century-old hotel are magical.
