r/Zermatt

Is the Alpen hotel close enough to the ski lifts? Im going to Zermatt for the first time in January and Im looking for a good hotel

This may sound like I’m silly, but my wife and I are staying in Interlaken for 10 days and wanted to know if it’d be possible to hike the 5 lakes trail if we took a day trip to Zermatt, due to the beauty of the lakes with the Matterhorn in the background. Would it be possible to do this or is it too snow covered to attempt at this time? Thanks for any advice you have, we’d love to see Zermatt regardless
