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.
