Chalet White Pearl, Zermatt

Description

Holy Snowballs – this is the way to ski in style. The newly-built Chalet White Pearl is a hip and funky freestanding abode, overflowing with luxuries galore. And, it’s in the only part of Zermatt that is ski-in ski out: Winkelmatten (also known as Zermatt’s Beverly Hills).

If you want to make the most of your precious time off, and you adore the gold plated Swiss charms of Zermatt, Chalet White Pearl is an ideal base to revel in first class service. Check out the private leisure complex on the lower ground floor, for example. Here, you can lounge around beside the pool, enjoy a soothing massage from the in-house therapist, then slip into the steam room and the sauna for the full cleansing experience.

Others in your group may have decided to start the party early, playing a game of pool and congregating in the adjacent private bar, trying to agree on which movies to watch in the cinema room later. Chalet White Pearl takes luxury to a higher level: the spa area is simply divine, the two largest bedrooms are gargantuan suites, and the chalet has its own internal lift.

The interior design of Chalet White Pearl is fun and fashionable, yet cosy at the same time. And as for the service, you could not ask for more. Your private chef and kitchen assistants whip up delicious meals in the enclosed kitchen, hidden away as you relax in front of the fire with a glass of Champagne. Your chalet hosts are on hand to provide everything you need, from ski passes to private instructors to childcare.

So, what else would you expect from one of the newest and finest ski chalets in Zermatt? Well, how about the location: just 15 minutes walk from the centre of town, and easy to ski in and out of you’ll be out and about in not time. And what about the sunny balconies, complete with hot tub and views of the Matterhorn. Plus, of course, the luxury toiletries and fluffy bathrobes, and the heated boot warmers in the ski room.

Eating

As you would expect, Chalet White Pearl offers a world class experience when it comes to food and drink. The chef and kitchen staff are recruited for their experience and skills in creating delicious mouth-watering dishes.

The service is catered, so everything from the champagne, to breakfasts, afternoon teas and evening meals is included. Specially selected house wines, champagne, soft drinks and house spirits are available at the private bar on the lower ground floor. Whatever your preferences, your chalet team can adapt menus just for you, and if you would like separate suppers for the children, it’s no problem.

Every morning you are brought a fresh cup of tea or coffee to kick start the day, followed by a tempting array of breakfast goodies. After a day out on the slopes you can look forward to a warming selection of cakes and hot drinks or, if you prefer, a refreshing glass of champagne.

Later your chalet hosts will serve pre-dinner drinks and canapés as you await the delicious 4-course evening meal. Sample menus feature such delicacies as Thai fishcakes and prune-stuffed pork loin roast, but everything can be tailored just for you.

You’ll have two evenings to sample the local restaurants of Zermatt on staff days off and your chalet host will be more than happy to make recommendations and bookings.

Kids

What child could fail to be impressed with Chalet White Pearl? Supersized bedrooms with freestanding bathtubs looking out over the mountains, big TVs and a cool lift, and that’s before they discover the delights of the lower ground floor. Here there is something for everyone. The kids can relax in their very own cinema room, creating a play den or watching their favourite cartoons whilst the adults chill out in the steam room or prop up the bar.

And of course, the swimming pool is just what you need when snowstorms prevent outdoor play, and you need to keep little ones entertained. The chalet is also furnished with a range of games and toys for all ages, including a pool table. And it’s very accessible for the ski slopes with a ski-in/ski-out location.

But of course, the really luxurious aspect of this chalet, when it comes to family holidays, is the support of the staff. With a private chef, housekeeper and chalet manager you really don’t have to worry about a thing. Children’s suppers make life so much easier, and arrangements for childcare, fun activities, ski hire and lessons can be made on your behalf. All the day to day chores are taken care of, leaving you to enjoy quality time with your kids.
