3100 Hotel Kulmhotel Gornergrat
For an unbeatable location, the prize goes to the 3100 Kulmhotel
Gornergrat, so-called because, at 3,100m above sea level, it’s the
highest crash pad in the Swiss Alps. All 22 rooms have glorious
views over either the Matterhorn or the Monte Rosa massif and its
glaciers. Fancy some stargazing? This lofty set-up is also home to
the Gornergrat Observatory, a scientific research centre that has
drawn astronomers for more than a century.
