Chalet Gemini, Zermatt

Description

Spa-style comfort meets country manor chic at Chalet Gemini. You’ll feel right at home as soon as you walk through the door of this very pretty three-storey property.

Warm woods teamed with accessories with Scandi detailing and country checks bring a homely feel that belies the level of luxury on offer.

A private sauna with relaxation room for massages and its own rainfall shower and changing facilities means you don’t even have to set foot out of your chalet to be well and truly pampered. And while you’re enjoying your sauna or massage, you’ll be gazing out at beautiful mountain views – the ultimate stress-buster. Outside is a hot tub where you can stay warm and enjoy the snow all around you.

The gourmet dining service and complimentary hand-picked wines will make every evening a night to remember. Your private chef will be in touch before you arrive to ensure that the menus are everything you could hope for.

Gather round the wood fireplace in the living area in the evening to enjoy drinks and canapés while your meal is cooked for you, then kick back and relax over a sumptuous meal.

The building boasts beautiful terraces and balconies on every floor so you can relax outside and, for a week or two at least, feel like master of all the mountains you survey.

Eating

Foodies will be in seventh heaven at Chalet Gemini.

Start your day in the manner to which you will soon become accustomed with tea or coffee in bed. Following this, a delicious continental spread, or cooked breakfast, will see you off ready for a day’s skiing.

When you return from the slopes, afternoon tea will be ready for you to enjoy back in the chalet. Come evening, you’ll indulge in champagne and canapés and catch up with your party while your private chef rustles up a four- course gourmet dinner for you on six evenings of your stay at this luxury ski chalet.

There is an open bar, including spirits, beer and soft drinks, and a complimentary selection of wines chosen to accompany your meals are on tap, although a larger fine wine list is available on request. If you have a particular favourite drink, just let your concierge know to have it ready for you for an additional cost.

The chef has one day off a week when your chalet host will be delighted to book one of Zermatt’s excellent restaurants for you.

Chalet Gemini can also be taken on a self-catered or B&B basis for those who prefer cooking for themselves, or allowing you the flexibility to enjoy the many bars and restaurants of Zermatt.
