Overview: chalet description: Alex description

THIS STUNNING PENTHOUSE APARTMENT IN ZERMATT IS ONE OF A KIND

The luxurious duplex apartment Alex is spread over the top two floors of Chalet Shalimar in Zermatt.

Sleeping 12 people in six spacious twin/double bedrooms, this apartment is perfect for large groups of friends or families.

For advanced skiers, it makes the perfect spot as, when snow permits, you can ski back to the apartment (off piste).

You enter the apartment on the first floor which is the main sleeping floor. On this floor there are six twin/double bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms and balconies. The two master bedrooms have uninterrupted views of the iconic Matterhorn. Bright and spacious, all of the furnishings are of the highest quality and all the bathrooms have separate baths and power showers.

A lift takes you up to the living and dining areas which are wonderfully spacious and bright.

The main living areas have sumptuous sofas which surround the large stone fireplaces.

After a hard day on the slopes, guests can enjoy afternoon tea in peace and quiet while the children are kept entertained in the apartment’s entertainment rooms complete with Apple TV. There is also a guest toilet on this floor.

On the lower ground floor of Chalet Shalimar is the shared spa area. There is a fabulous indoor pool, sauna, hammam, and massage room which is shared with the other four-bedroom apartment, Elena, situated on the ground floor.

Alex is nestled in the enclave of Winklematten, perfectly positioned for keen advanced skiers as you can ski back to the property (when snow permits). The Klein Matterhorn lift station is a short e-taxi ride away or a 10 minute walk. The vibrant centre of Zermatt is a 15-minute scenic walk away or a short ride in an electric taxi.

Upon arrival and departure, when taken on a catered or self-catered basis, we provide a complimentary taxi from the train station or taxi terminal to Chalet Shalimar.

This accommodation only holiday to Alex in Zermatt, Switzerland departs Sunday 8th December 2024, for a 7 night stay on a "self catering" board basis. A local tourist tax (Taxe de Sejour or Kurtaxe) is levied by many councils in European ski resorts. It varies by standard and type of accommodation and is age dependent, so not everyone is charged. It's not included in the basic price of your holiday and is usually paid locally. For reference, the average charged in winter 2024 was between €1 and €3 per person, per night.

Zermatt belongs to Switzerland's Valais canton, which rubs shoulders with the Italian Alps. You'll find it surrounded by nearly a third of Europe's 4000m peaks and, most notably, right at the foot of the Matterhorn. Even if you haven't heard of this mountain, chances are you'd recognise it - national landmark of Switzerland, the inspiration for the Toblerone and a peak photographed more than any other. Besides the picturesque scenery, these mighty mountains come with a cool climate, ever-white glaciers and ...
There are 200km of runs in the local area alone and a massive 360km overall if you count the Matterhorn's Italian side. With Cervina, Zermatt forms the 'Matterhorn Ski Paradise' where SNO lovers of all abilities are blessed with high altitude terrain - and lots of it! Everyone's a winner in a ski area this big and brilliant. Still, if we had to pick where it shines, we'd say it's incredibly fantastic for intermediate and advanced level skiers and snowboarders. If you're a keen beginner, you'll love Zermatt,...

Harry's Bar is the place to dance to cheesy pop and Papperla offers a pubby atmosphere, but you can't come to Zermatt without being tempted into the Hennu Stall (at the end of the Furi-Ze...
