Following completion of renovations, they have decided to change their name from Visperhof to Baxter Hotel, even though no change in management. Whilst there is an interesting heritage background to this, I preferred Visperhof as it clearly describes what it is, and we have already been staying there for about 10 years now. Regardless, this is and always has been an excellent hotel, steps away from Visp station but not noisy. Maintained to a high level. Lovely breakfast on the rooftop. We always have dinner at the lovely classically Swiss restaurant Terrasse, a short walk away at the start of the old town. It all makes for a perfect stopover on the way to Zermatt. Don’t rush your arrival there, late at night, in fading light or darkness, maybe even missing your first dinner. Have a relaxing evening and a delicious meal in Visp, before making your way up to Zermatt in the morning (old Visp itself is well worth a walk-around first if you have time), enjoy the train journey and dramatic scenery in bright light, before arriving at the perfect time of day, hopefully sunny with clear views of the majestic Matterhorn. Always a perfect start to our Zermatt holidays!
