To Pat (from Pat) -- We loved the hotel we stayed in part way up the Gornergrat
RR -- at the Riffelalp stop. It was the Hotel Riffelalp, set in a glorious
location, with room balconies facing the Matterhorn---what wonderful morning
views before the almost inevitable ring of clouds settled over the top.
Superb hiking from the door, great food, charming ambiance. Our trip was
a few years ago when the hotel was small and quite a bargain; now Seiler
Hotel chain has expanded it greatly and, I am sure, raised prices. But
I would go there again for that magnificent location--our four days there
were the highlight of our Switzerland trip. Cheers, Pat in Baltimore
