Why this package wins for nonprofits
The Matterhorn is one of the world's most iconic peaks, and Zermatt is the only way to experience it from the heart of the Swiss Alps. This package lands your winners at Riffelalp Resort 2222m, a 5-star property positioned at elevation with unobstructed views of that legendary peak, paired with access to Spa 2222m—Europe's highest spa. What drives bidding wars is the specificity: this isn't a generic alpine retreat. Bidders are competing for four nights in a resort that marries mountain drama with genuine wellness, plus a train pass to explore Zermatt's car-free village, its 400+ km of hiking trails, and the Gornergrat mountain railway—one of the most celebrated ascents in the Alps. For nonprofits, the consignment model removes all risk: you list the package, HGA handles coordination, and you keep every dollar above the $4,995 reserve. The winner writes the check; your mission keeps the difference.
The experience your winner walks into
Your winners arrive in Zermatt and settle into Riffelalp Resort 2222m, a 5-star alpine sanctuary. From their room, the Matterhorn commands the horizon. Over four nights, they use their train pass to ride the Gornergrat, one of the Alps' most storied mountain railways, ascending into terrain where the peak looms larger with each switchback. They wander Zermatt's car-free village, browsing boutiques and dining at restaurants nestled in this charming car-free setting, taking in cultural events and the rhythm of a village built entirely around mountain life. On warmer days, they choose from 400+ km of hiking trails that crisscross the region, or try summer skiing on the glaciers if they're seeking alpine adventure. Each evening, they return to Spa 2222m—Europe's highest spa—where mountain views frame their relaxation. Every element is arranged: HGA's travel team coordinates the itinerary, confirms reservations 90 days ahead, and ensures the train pass is activated and ready. The winners simply arrive and experience it.
