It is enthroned all by itself, a little away from the Hotel Riffelalp Resort, high above Zermatt, at 2,222 m. Guests can attend mass in the family chapel of the Seiler hotelier family on Saturdays in summer. Zermatt in the southern Swiss canton of Valais is a mountain resort popular with skiers, climbers and hikers. The town lies at an altitude of 1,600 metres at the foot of the famous pyramid-shaped Matterhorn. Zermatt's main street, Bahnhofstrasse, is home to boutiques, hotels and restaurants as well as a lively après-ski scene.
At 4,478 metres above sea level, the majestic Matterhorn - arguably Europe's most famous mountain - stretches out in a breathtaking Alpine panorama. Switzerland's freestanding landmark lies on the border of the western Swiss canton of Valais - between Zermatt and Breuil-Cervinia in Italy.
