Immaculate ground floor apartment with sunny terrace overlooking Matterhorn, quiet but convenient.
We stayed here for 2 weeks. Flat is very comfortable and modern (mainly ikea!) with a few steam punk features (mainly the amazing chandelier). The flat has everything you could need: WiFi, 2 TVs, information about the resort, full kitchen with all you could need including fondue, raclette sets, cooking utensils galore, dishwasher, great L shaped sofa, good hot shower and jacuzzi bath. The location is very good- a healthy uphill walk from town, but the local/ski bus passes pretty much outside the front door to take you anywhere in town if you don’t fancy the walk. It’s a quiet residential area and the apartment has a sunny terrace looking straight at the Matterhorn. The only small niggle here is that it’s not that private being on the ground floor and right next to your neighbour without a dividing fence....not that many people around to worry you though, and this may be a bonus for the more sociable.
Washing is quite easily done in the communal cellar laundry shared by the rest of the small block of flats. We never struggled to get our washing done. Next door is the ski room for all your ski gear. The owners of the apartment were very helpful, easy to get hold of and very quickly fixed the dishwasher when it needed to be- many thanks!
Access to the slopes fairly easy- hop on the regular bus which literally stops next door, and in a few minutes you’ll be at the Matterhorn glacier paradise lifts. Stay on longer for the Gornergrat train or sunnegga lifts. Getting back not quite so easy- took us a while to realise best to change buses otherwise you end up going all over town before getting home as it’s kind of a figure of 8 circuit.
Zermatt an amazing small town full of charm, no motor vehicles (just a few electric buses and taxis) with pedestrians given the right of way. Loads of lovely bars and restaurants on and off the mountain. Great opportunities for winter hikes if you don’t fancy skiing every day. Would love to return in the summer to walk more of the mountain!
Great (luxury) home from home.
