Zermatt Switzerland Riffelalp Resort

Riffelalp Resort site plan: This architect's rendering shows what to expect during the new hotel's first summer season in 2001. An antique electric tram will bring guests and their luggage to the hotel from the Riffelalp station of the Gornergrat cogwheel railroad (1/2 km away). The building in the foreground is the old Anglican Chapel, which has been renovated for concerts and other events. The tall cream-colored structure is a surviving building from the old Riffelalp Grand Hotel. Newer rooms are under the chalet-style roofs, which also house the registration area, lobby, bar, main restaurant, and conference room. In the basement (under the red tram) are the Walliser Keller restaurant, a wine bar, and a two-lane bowling alley.
