With accommodation for up to seven guests across four well-appointed bedrooms, the chalet offers the perfect balance of comfort and alpine elegance, all while framing spectacular views of the iconic Matterhorn.

The chalet spanning three levels, the first floor serves as the chalet’s social hub. Here, a cosy living area with wood-panelled walls and ceilings brings an authentic alpine warmth, while the sleek grey sofas and modern furnishings add a touch of contemporary comfort. The sofas, arranged around the open fireplace in this inviting space, are ideal for après-ski snacks or warming up with tea or coffee after a day in the snow.Expansive windows flood the room with natural light, offering uninterrupted mountain views.

A fully equipped kitchen provides everything needed for a self-catered holiday, whether preparing a quick breakfast before hitting the slopes or crafting an evening meal to enjoy around the spacious dining table. This table sets the stage for memorable dinners with friends and family, accompanied by fine wine and lively conversation. Step out onto the adjoining balcony to unwind with a book, enjoy a pre-dinner drink as the sun sets, or savour a midday lunch between skiing sessions, all while surrounded by the stunning alpine scenery, including the ever-majestic Matterhorn. The living area also features a large TV, perfect for relaxing with a film or catching up on the day’s news before heading to bed, ensuring a peaceful end to each day in this tranquil mountain retreat.

The sleeping quarters are thoughtfully spread across two floors, each room designed with a blend of modern style and alpine charm that captures the essence of the Swiss Alps.
