Chalet Zamora in Zermatt, Switzerland

Situated in Winkelmatten, the chalet is just a five minute walk from the Matterhorn Express gondola, giving easy access to the slopes. In good conditions, it is possible to ski back to within 200 metres of the front door. The bus stops just outside the chalet meaning the town is easily reached. The main chalet accommodates up to eight guests, whilst a separate self-contained apartment on the ground floor accommodates a further four guests.

Built in typical Alpine style, the chalet combines classic Swiss architecture with contemporary features and furnishings. The entrance hall on the first floor leads into an open plan living and dining area with fireplace, sofas, armchairs and a teak dining table. There is also a modern and well-equipped kitchen. Doors open onto a balcony with magnificent Matterhorn views.

The chalet provides plenty of opportunities to unwind, either in the second sitting room on the ground floor or in the wellness area complete with sauna and rainfall shower. There is a heated ski room with boot warmers also on this level.

The main chalet is home to four twin/double bedrooms; three on the top floor and one on the first floor. The master bedroom has a TV and en-suite bathroom with bath and shower. The other two bedrooms on the top floor share a shower room and the fourth bedroom has a separate shower room across the hallway. On the ground floor are a further two twin/double bedrooms which share a bathroom. These make up the ground floor apartment along with the second sitting room which includes a dining area and kitchenette.
