“A stylish contemporary hotel - both functional and characterful, rustic and peaceful. Deluxe rooms overlook the Matterhorn. Enjoy an apres ski drink in the attractive bar with quarrystone, rustic wood, and lots of natural light. Great value for money.”

Hotel review

Opened in July 2009, the Phoenix is owned by Josef Schaller, was constructed by his builder brother and cleverly designed by both. The result: an affordable place to stay that is both contemporary and functional, rustic and peaceful, and in perfect condition. The four lovely deluxe rooms with semi circular windows overlooking the Matterhorn cost little more than superior and standard rooms. The attractive lounge/bar mixes quarrystone with rustic wood, plus deep red sofas and stools and plenty of sunlight from picture windows. Useful ground floor ski room.
