Location & Ski Access
Hotel Pollux stands on Bahnhofstrasse, 200 meters or two minutes from the Zermatt train station. The hotel runs a complimentary ski shuttle to the slopes and provides a dedicated ski storage room with heated boot racks. Guests can purchase tickets for the Zermatt Glacier Paradise directly at the reception desk.

“Hotel Pollux strikes me as a smart choice in Zermatt, particularly for its effortless access from the train station. The blend of modern design and alpine charm is a nice touch, and the on-site vegetarian restaurant seems promising. It's the kind of place where I could see myself unwinding after a day on the slopes, or perhaps even getting a bit of work done in their dedicated workspace.”
