About Luxury Ski Chalets in Zermatt, Switzerland

Car-free Zermatt was once a rustic farming village and those roots are still clearly evident in the town today. There’s a real mix of the old and new, with ancient wooden buildings with slate roofs dotted around the narrow lanes juxtaposed with cutting edge luxury ski chalets and upmarket boutiques for the well-heeled international visitors.

The result is a charming but cosmopolitan feel with plenty of character.

Zermatt is a gourmet paradise and boasts some of the best mountain restaurants in the Alps, both up on the slopes and also in the car-free village centre.

The facilities for beginners and the lift system in general has seen some significant improvements in recent years so many of the old bottlenecks have been alleviated.

Zermatt is best known for the iconic Matterhorn which helps to make the already spectacular views into something close to perfection.

BEST TIME
TO VISIT

Zermatt has one of the longest ski seasons in the Alps due to the high altitude of the skiing. The lifts normally run from mid November to Early May.

Guide to Zermatt, Switzerland

What we love about Zermatt

We love the mountain restaurants – probably the best in the world – complimented by those spectacular views of the Matterhorn. Throw in a charming village and superb skiing and Zermatt is a winning combination.

Getting to Zermatt

Zermatt is approximately 3 hours drive from Geneva Airport. Airport transfer vehicles can only reach the edge of Zermatt as only electric vehicles are allowed in the village itself. Electro taxis can then take you across the village to the chalet.

There is also a train station in Zermatt should you wish to arrive by train.

The Skiing in Zermatt

The skiing in Zermatt also won’t disappoint. The area links with Cervinia on the Italian side making a huge and accessible ski area, and even an early intermediate can make the trip over. The terrain is varied and is particularly good for intermediates on a luxury ski holiday in Zermatt as there is an abundance of red runs, most of which are fairly gentle.

The facilities for beginners and the lift system in general has seen some significant improvements in recent years so many of the old bottlenecks have been alleviated.

One thing you notice when skiing in Zermatt is the altitude. Much of the skiing is above 2500m and goes up to a very lofty 3899m, so the snow tends to last very well as the temperatures stay low.

So overall Zermatt has bags of charm, excellent skiing and great restaurants and plenty of luxury ski chalets – not surprising it is often voted the world’s best ski resort.

Best Places To Eat and Drink in Zermatt

One of the real draws of Zermatt is the wonderful selection of mountain restaurants. Zermatt boasts 38 mountain restaurants and the standard across the board is extremely high. The spectacular scenery, the authentically restored traditional alpine farm buildings and the fantastic regional cuisine are a winning combination.

For views of the Matterhorn and excellent regional food in beautifully-quaint rustic surroundings try one of the restaurants at Findeln, below Sunnegga – Findlerhof, Chex Vrony, The Paradies and Adler are all highly recommended.

On chefs night off at your luxury ski chalet, head into town and you’ll find every type of restaurant from haute cuisine to rustic regional or contemporary chic. Try the innovative Italian cuisine at the Michelin-starred Ristorante Capri on the top floor of the Petit Cervin Hotel.

Similarly, there is a wide choice of bars and clubs and something to suit all tastes.

Chalet Zermatt Peak

There are a handful of chalets that offer guests a week to remember in all their opulence and glory but if you’re after something off the scale in style and chic then look no further than Chalet Zermatt Peak.

Resembling a Bond villain’s lair, Chalet Zermatt Peak couldn’t be more appropriately named. Its architectural wizardry juts out from the mountainside and cascades down the mountain effortlessly. Its five bedrooms are immaculately appointed making it certainly one the most dramatic luxury ski chalets in the Alps, not just Zermatt.

The architects have really gone to town here with the finishing; walnut floors and matching bespoke beds fill every bedroom; the unique design of the spa is spectacular. Bi-fold doors glide across the top of the bubbling pool splitting the elements in two with precision and grace.

Floor to ceiling windows bring you acres of light and the most staggering view of the valley beyond and village below. Whether lying in bed or having a canapé in the lounge prepared by one of the talented chefs, you will not be disappointed with this glorious luxury ski chalet in Zermatt.

Chalet Grace, Zermatt

Antique furniture; Baroque mirrors; wrought iron balustrades and super comfy sofas give a cosy yet sophisticated feel and the awesome art collection is unsurpassed in the valley.

Built using modern construction materials, the choice of pale wood throughout and painted walls affords Chalet Grace a very different but very cosmopolitan feel than your traditional Alpine retreat.

It is light, bright and airy and, as you’ll see from the photographs not shy of a spectacular view. Features such as an outdoor hot tub, pool table, card table, cinema room and well-stocked bar will be sure to fill any remaining time you may have after skiing.
