A Luxury Chalet in the Heart of Zermatt
This vacation home for rent in Zermatt is located right in the center of the resort. An apartment with room to sleep eight guests, it's ideal for large groups wanting to make the most of the ski season - as well as the great restaurants and nightlife in the world-famous Swiss resort.
The traditional exterior of this large chalet in Zermatt, Switzerland, doesn't even hint at the spacious modern apartment that lies inside it. We love the cool living space that stretches the length of the third-floor space. It's made up of a sitting room with fireplace, a dining area with adjoining open-plan kitchen, and a study (with TV) which can be partitioned off. Each space has a balcony and fabulous views of the village and the dramatic backdrop of the Matterhorn.
Of course, Zermatt is known for its skiing - and this apartment is located right in the center of the resort town, making it well-positioned for ski vacations. A concierge service comes with the rental fees, offering help with transportation, ski passes, rentals, classes and much more.
The master bedroom has lovely bay windows, a walk-in wardrobe with a desk, and an en-suite bathroom. Next to it are two twin bedrooms with balconies. The fourth bedroom, also with twin beds, has its own spacious en-suite bathroom.
A great vacation rental in Zermatt for two families or a large group of friends.

AROUND
Zermatt is a world-renowned ski resort, and its top lift is the highest in the Alps - at 3,800m. It's a spectacularly pretty town, with views of the Matterhorn and 28 other peaks surrounding it. Year-round skiiing is possible on the glaciers and on lower slopes, thanks to snow-making machines. However, Zermatt is more than a charming ski hub. It also offers easy winter hiking trails, great restaurants, lively apres-ski, jazz clubs and piano bars. And it's car-free too.
The apartment is located in the heart of the village, next to the ice skating rinks (which become tennis courts in the summer). It's one minute away from the main shopping center, and two minutes from the Gornergrat mountain railway. Guests can access the Schweizerhof hotel's indoor swimming pool and spa facilities via a short tunnel.
