Affordable Hotels in Zermatt (2025)

Parnass

Zermatt sits at the foot of the Matterhorn, a compact Alpine village with car-free streets, wooden chalets, and a backdrop of towering peaks. Its mix of traditional charm and outdoor adventure makes it perfect for travellers of all kinds. There are not very many budget-friendly hotels here, but we have found a handful which range from cosy town-centre rooms close to shops and restaurants to mountain lodges just a short walk or ski away from the slopes. Whether you’re after a simple base for hiking, skiing, or sightseeing, these affordable stays offer comfort, convenience, and stunning Alpine views without the hefty price tag.
