Matterhorn FOCUS Design Hotel

Heinz Julen design B&B at the cable car, dogs in summer only

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A 30-room bed and breakfast hotel spread across three connected houses at the foot of the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise lift, with every sofa, lamp and bed designed by Zermatt architect Heinz Julen. The spa has an indoor pool, saltwater pool, sauna, steam bath and an outdoor jacuzzi, and there is no restaurant, so evenings mean a ten-minute walk into the village. It suits design-minded couples and families who want to be first onto the Furi gondola. Dogs are accepted only in House C during the summer season, on request and for a surcharge, and the hotel closes each autumn between the summer and winter seasons.

Why it's in the collection

You are standing at the Furi gondola, so the Zmutt path and the walks up through Furi towards the Gornergletscher gorge start at the front door, and the Vispa riverside promenade runs back into the village. Summer-only access means the high meadow trails to Findeln and Sunnegga are open and snow free.

Best suited for

Dogs are accepted only in House C during the summer season, on prior request, and may not enter the breakfast room or spa.

Dogs stay in House C only, and only in summer, so winter ski stays with a dog are not possible here. Small dogs may also be accepted in the Family Suites with prior notice and a small surcharge, so tell the hotel about your dog when you book rather than at check-in. Dogs are not admitted to the breakfast room or the spa and pool area. The hotel runs a free electric shuttle between Zermatt station and the hotel from 8am to 7pm on arrival and departure days, but it has not published whether dogs ride in it, so confirm ahead or plan the roughly 15-minute walk from the station. From Täsch, dogs travel on the Matterhorn Gotthard shuttle train with a dog ticket. The property closes for a period each autumn, most recently mid October to mid November.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
