Alex Lodge — Local services in Zermatt

I couldn't decide where I wanted to stay in Zermatt. I am so glad I chose the Alex lodge. It is just far enough away from the sights and sounds of Zermatt to be perfect.||||Pamela is a gracious host. Besides stocking the accomodation with coffee, tea, milk oj, sparkling water etc.. She is available to answer any questions you may have and genuinely wants you to make the most of your stay.||||The location of the lodge is perfect for me. I am here for 4 nights. Pamela will have someone pick u up at the train station, just be sure to let her know. There r electric buses and taxis available if needed. As a previous reviewer commented, the bus schedule is not continuous, but about every half hour. Frankly, the walk to the shopping street is not far. An easy walk. It wasn't even that bad coming back up hill. It's rather enjoyable to walk.||||Hard to leave when you can c the ever changing views of the Matterhorn from everywhere. I kinda got attached to the view from the couch.||||Things to do: take the train up the mountain (gornergratt). Half price with rail pass. Check out the Matterhorn museum. Free with rail pass. Ride up Klein Matterhorn. ||||Shopping: Coop store for groceries. It's across from train station. Clothes and the like r very expensive here. I did however find an inexpensive jewelry store called Marco Polo. I recommend dropping in. Besides that, I picked up a few of the...

We travelled as a small group and had a long journey to reach late in the evening. No matter... from moment of pick-up, Pamela and her team greeted us with kindness and warmth. ||We were shown kindly, with all our luggages taken care of, to a stunning unit on the second floor. Even in the dark could tell the view would be incredible come sunrise. We were not disappointed. ||The unit had simply everything one could want... breakfast waiting with delicious selection of bread fresh each morning, refreshing selection of teas, great espresso machine, slippers, robes etc etc. Nothing was out of place and all was in pristine new condition. The service was non-intrusive yet superbly responsive and kind. ||||It was a wee bit further from the ski lifts than we had realised based on prior reviews, but overall supremely positioned in the town overall...not in the middle centre, but nestled in a lovely area close to lifts.||||The spa downstairs is indeed smaller than some, but given that its practically like ones own private facility we loved it! Its also incredibly clean and, as above, perfectly supplied with quality linens, and warm with twinkling little candles and the perfect temperature. We were lucky and had it practically to ourselves each evening. ||||Would come back in a heartbeat and would highly recommend!||Thank you...
