For the first timers in skiing the first and foremost advice would be to prepare themselves according to the weather. Snow doesn't always mean freezing cold, so do not over dress for the sport. Your outfit when overdone could minimize your manouvering skills. Never ever venture in unknown zones and always go as per the trainers directions. It could be more dangerous than what you can even imagine. So stay safe and practice your moves before heading down.All the Best.Be in the know!

If you have never visited Zermatt, you are in for a rare treat. This car-free, historic village is very special, full of romance and character and the substantial recent investment in the infrastructure means that Zermatt is now a ski area to rival the best in the world.


Chalet Zaphir is a contemporary, stylish and spacious apartment in the centre of Zermatt. Equidistant (10 minutes by foot or a few minutes by electric taxi) between the Matterhorn Express and the Sunnegga Express, staying here allows you to benefit in equal measure from Zermatt’s extensive skiing, the extraordinary views of the Matterhorn and the village’s unique charm.


Chalet Zaphir occupies the west side of the top two floors of the building and shares a basic communal staircase that separates the lounge with the bedrooms, with Chalet Louise. The large open plan living space on the top floor has extremely large floor to ceiling windows with direct views of the Matterhorn. The modern look is light and airy and enhanced by an open fireplace.


The large south-facing balcony outside the living area is the most wonderful place to soak up the sun and enjoy one of the world’s most spectacular and iconic views.


The bedrooms range from large to extremely spacious – a luxury which can be hard to find in a premier Alpine resort. All have en-suite bathrooms, flat screen TVs and DVD players. As a result, they are great for adults wanting a little peace and quiet to read a book or watch a film, or for children wanting some play space!


We think great food, wine and service are prerequisites of a successful skiing holiday and our Original service will ensure that you can focus on skiing, spending quality time with friends and family and recharging your batteries. Assuming you can find space after one of Zermatt’s legendary mountain lunches, your chef will delight you with creative and exquisite dishes and your host will pour well matched wines to complement them. The whole team is dedicated to ensuring that your skiing holiday is the best you have ever had.


Chalet Zaphir has 4 spacious and stylish bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. There are three twin rooms and a King size double room. All rooms have flat screen TVs, DVD players and some English channels. The bathrooms are modern, spacious and well appointed with a shower above every bath.

Menu options:

In your luxury catered chalet the fire pops and crackles in the background as you sip a glass of Laurent-Perrier, and take bite of a mouthwatering canapé. As your attentive host discreetly fills your glass, you can lie back and relax as the muscles in your legs buzz with the day's activities.


Incredible smells drift from the kitchen, where your private chef is putting the finishing touches to dinner: Paprika wafer with tiger prawns, followed by filet of beef and thyme rosti. And when the sticky toffee and cardamom pudding appears, you realise resistance is futile.


Unlike the set menu you’ll be served by other chalet operators, our ski chalet chefs tailor the menu to your personal taste. Enjoy five-course gourmet dinners in Flagship and Premier chalets and four courses in Original chalets. Delicious breakfasts are also served and you can enjoy tea in bed each morning too.


Alternatively, if you're a hotel guest you can rest assured that our handpicked luxury ski hotels are chosen not only for their character and service, but their exquisite dining. In addition, we can advise on which resort and mountain restaurants you might like to sample during your ski holiday.

Each wine is carefully selected by our master of wine, Keith Isaac, alongside our Food & Beverage manager and Andrew Dunn himself. Andrew has been personally involved in making sure that everything we do is of the highest quality, which includes offering only the finest ingredients to our guests.
