Overlooking the village, Cervo Mountain Resort is a lovely spot in which to take in the delights of Zermatt. With a central chalet housing the bar, lounge and restaurant, the hotel has seven separate chalets of between four and thirteen rooms, which can be taken separately or as a whole. For privacy and exclusivity, the Cervo's Huntsman Triple Suite is a cosy retreat sleeping up to six people, and is ideal for special occasions or family groups, where meals can be taken either in the chalet or in the restaurant. Or guests can take the whole Huntsman Lodge which can sleep up to 12 guests. With panoramic windows, a private terrace with views of the Matterhorn and an outdoor bath, it's one of Zermatt's secret gems.
The central chalet is the hub of the hotel with a buzzing bar and lounge, lit by candles,and great for socialising after a fulfilling day in the mountains. Alternatively, relax over a long lunch on the sunny terrace with fabulous views of the Matterhorn. The charming Madre Nostra restaurant is rustic and cosy, it celebrates Italy's culinary traditions with modern creations and refined classics. The Ferdinand restaurant is great for cheese lovers with specialities including fondue, raclette and a table barbecue.
The rooms are contemporary and all have a balcony and view of the Matterhorn. Junior Suites have a separate lounge, and the Master Suites also have a dining area and kitchenette. Each chalet enjoys access to the large Mountain Ashram Spa, inspired by Japanese onsen and Bhutanese stone baths, with steam room, sauna and outdoor pool.
The Cervo enjoys a convenient location in the resort, with its own lift linking to the entrance of the Sunnegga funicular. The resort itself lies at an altitude of 1620 meters at the foot of the world-renowned Matterhorn and surrounded by an additional 38 majestic peaks. Due to its southerly location, Zermatt shares part of its border with Italy and thus enjoys a mild climate with extended periods of sunshine. Although a beautiful and internationally renowned spot with numerous hotels, restaurants, bars and elegant shops, Zermatt has never lost any of its village charm and both in summer and winter remains an ideal spot for an active, refreshing or relaxing vacation.
