Frequently Asked Questions

What's the golf experience like in Östlich Raron, considering there's only one course?

You're not coming to Östlich Raron for a multi-course golf trip; you're here for a singular, memorable experience at Golf Club Matterhorn. This course offers stunning views of the Matterhorn and a challenging mountain layout that demands precision, not just power. Expect immaculate conditions and a truly unique round you won't soon forget.

When is the best time to visit Östlich Raron for golf?

We highly recommend visiting between late May and early October. The weather is generally superb for golf, and the alpine scenery is at its most vibrant. Aim for early autumn to experience the crisp air and incredible fall colors, which make the already dramatic landscape even more breathtaking.

Is Östlich Raron easy to get to, and what else can we do besides golf?

Accessing Östlich Raron typically involves a scenic train journey through the Valais region, often connecting via Visp. While the golf course is the main draw, you're in the heart of the Swiss Alps, so hiking, mountain biking, and exploring charming local villages like Randa or Täsch are excellent ways to spend your non-golfing hours. Don't miss the chance to simply soak in the incredible mountain vistas.

What should we expect regarding green fees and overall costs for golf in Östlich Raron?

Golf in Switzerland, especially with views like these, isn't cheap, and Östlich Raron is no exception. Expect green fees for Golf Club Matterhorn to be on the higher end, typically ranging from 100-150 CHF, depending on the season. We consider it a worthwhile splurge for the unparalleled scenery and pristine conditions you'll encounter.

How challenging is the single course in Östlich Raron, and what makes it unique?

Golf Club Matterhorn is a true mountain course, meaning you'll face elevation changes, tight fairways, and strategic bunkering that demand thoughtful play. Its uniqueness comes from playing at altitude with the iconic Matterhorn constantly in your sightline, offering a visual spectacle that few other courses in the world can match. You'll need to adjust your club selection for the thinner air, which adds another layer of fun to the challenge.
