My favorite resort in Europe is hands-down the Riffelalp Resort at 2222 (elevation) on the Gornergrat mountain high above Zermatt. The staff, breakfast buffet, service, suites, and view is outstanding. The view of the iconic Matterhorn is only a breath away. The spa has recently been renewed and the suites are as lovely as ever, with cozy Swiss style throughout. Everything works in this classic Chalet-feel hotel. Located near the border of Italy, the cuisine is Italian and Swiss. For this stay on the first of August it was Swiss Day. The resort offered a BBQ buffet which was amazing. Sausages, beef filet, ribs, and other delicacies were grilled in a BBQ called the Egg, which is a combo smoker and cooker. The results were very tasty. Some of the best grilled meat I've had in Europe, and just about anywhere else.
