“Tradition Julen impresses as a family-run hotel with a dedication to both luxury and local heritage, where the Matterhorn views from rooms with balconies are truly memorable. Between the excellent dining choices and unique experiences like visiting the hotel's own sheep farm, it's clear the Julen family have created something exceptional. I'd recommend this Zermatt hotel for travelers who want a genuine and cultured Swiss Alps retreat.”
