Hornlihutte - Zermatt

The hut is accessible to hikers. What a place to restore energies. The 2 hour hike starts at Schwarzsee cable car station.

Very expensive mountain hut. The menue card is minimalistic. The food was Okay. When comparing to Mountain Huts in the Dolomites where they also fly the food in with helicopters, then the Hörnlihütte has really not much to offer. The service was people acted pretty dry, not totally unfriendly, but not really nice either. The coffee was very bad ! Swiss mountains huts, PLEASE learn from them in the Dolomites !!! You are way behind ...

We took the Gondola from Zermatt to Schwarzee and then hiked up to the matterhorn. The Hornlihutte was at the top and was a nice place to take a bathroom break, grab some radlers and enjoy the views of the climbers on the peak. It was a little pricey but we had packed a picnic so only purchased drinks and a hornlihutte pin. We hiked up a little past the hornlihutte for a perfect picnic spot where we were able to watch the rope climbers and made new friends with some french people who shared their wine with us as they were toasting one of their friends who had passed away. This was a bucket list hike and we thought it was nice to have the hornlihutte as a place to stop at the top for a break before heading back down the mountain. We did have to rush down the mountain to make the last gondola, and barely made it. So make sure you check the schedule and plan your time accordingly. That would have been a very very long hike all the way down in the dark. For those of you who complain about the prices I would suggest that you stop at one of the many bakeries in town and put something in your backpack. Plan ahead. If you want hot food when you get to the top, it will obviously be worth paying a little more at the Hornlihutte.

Eine top moderne Berghütte mit atemberaubender Aussicht. 150CHF für eine Nacht im Mehrbettzimmer (inkl.HP) eher am oberen Limit.

Anstrengender und aufregender Aufstieg (Kids mit 7+8 Jahren dabei). Oben geile Aussicht und leckerer Radler. Der Schokokuchen war der Hammer! Teuer, aber für diesen Spot total gerechtfertigt. Netter Service. Mist das ich meine Bergausrüstung nicht dabei hatte....
