Places and ideas for making a proposal in Zermatt

- Consider Gornergrat for stunning views of the Matterhorn, but note it might be crowded in September.
- Take the hike from Rotenboden to Riffelberg to find a private spot for your proposal.
- The Sunnegga cable car offers access to breathtaking areas; hiking to Stellisee provides beautiful scenery and a reflection of the Matterhorn on clear days.

Hi Skaria76…Congratulations and how exciting for you! We were in Zermatt last month and went up to Gornergrat where you’ll have a spectacular view of the Matterhorn (on a clear day of course!) I don’t know how crowded it would be in September but I’m sure there will still be some crowd. However, there is a hiking trail from Rotenboden to Riffelberg that you could take and you can pick your spot! Your only problem will be which spot to choose! If you google it, you’ll see some of the images and you’ll get some ideas. There is another train you could take up to Sunnegga, but we didn’t go up there so I can’t say much about it, but I imagine the view is just as spectacular! In case you’re interested, there is a hotel up in Gornegrat – Kulmhotel (wished I have known that before I booked our trip) and I’ve heard on a clear night when all the stars our out, it’s a majestic sight! Goodluck and congratulations again!
Congratulations!
Hello Skaria76,
Also from me CONGRATULATIONS!!! What a lovely idea, I’m sure your lady will be more than happy!
Why not look at one of the hotels in Zermatt offering some exclusivity and stunning views of the Matterhorn, such as the Kulmhotel Gornergrat or the Riffelhaus or the Riffelalp Resort.

Hi there Skaria76 –
We just returned to the US from a fabulous 9 days touring Lucerne, Interlaken, Zermatt. Here’s a suggestion that both my husband and I agreed would be a “perfect” proposal spot (BTW – we were in Switzerland for our 25th wedding anniversary!). Take the Sunnega cable car (you’ll get it right in Zermatt) to the top and then jump on the Gondola. When you get off, follow the directions for the hike to Stellisee. This is a beautiful lake below the Matterhorn (if you’re there on a clear day around 9 or 10am you can see the reflection of the Matterhorn). The hike is about 30 mins from the Gondola. (We were actually up there to do some flyfishing on this lake!!!) Proposal around the lake anywhere can be made private by simply going off trail a bit. After you propose, there is a fabulous restaurant/Inn called Fluhalp on the mountainside that has some of the best food we had in Zermatt. They have outside dining (a band when we were there) overlooking the Matterhorn. Very romantic plus if you want to spend the night, they have rooms to stay in (however a VERY unassuming place and we were comfortable there in tshirts/shorts). I know many famous folks have stayed there to avoid the publicity in the town of Zermatt. Also, they have the best homemade Grappa;)
Congratulations and Best!
