There are two joint washrooms with flowing water (cold). The use of the shower costs CHF 5.- extra.

Meals are served in the dining hall and on the patio.

Our specialities are: home-made dried beef, ice-tea, Triftteller, Mettelhornteller and home-made roast potatoes (Rösti).

Our guests are daily visitors, hikers and mountaineers who enjoy each others company in the evenings, mountaineers who are en route in Zermatt or those who intend to climb the Mettelhorn or those on smaller or larger tours.

Associations and companies use our hotel for weekend outings with overnight stays in a pleasant atmosphere.

Children are welcome at Berggasthaus Trift. However, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that the ascent can be too much for small children.

We would recommend that you make sure you have the appropriate footwear (climbing boots). Furthermore, you should take a pullover and a mac or windcheater with you. Don't forget to bring flannels and towels with you. Sunscreen should also be included.

The hiking map "Zermatt - Täsch - Randa" can be obtained from Zermatt Tourism or bookshops in Zermatt.

Fabienne and Hugo Biner both stem from families in Zermatt with very old traditions. Hugo is a certified mountain guide and skiing instructor. Both would be glad to provide you with information about Zermatt and the surrounding areas.
