  • The Matterhorn, from bed

    Four of the five bedrooms face it. So does the bath.

  • Ski-in to the door

    The Sunnegga run ends forty metres above the boot room.

  • A proper fire

    Open hearth, two metres wide, wood delivered and stacked every morning.

Céline's family took apart a 1760s barn in Törbel, trucked it down the valley and rebuilt the shell of it here. From the lane it looks like it has always been in Zermatt. Then you open the door and the entire ground floor is one room, twelve metres long, with a two-metre hearth at one end and glass at the other.

It sleeps ten without ever feeling like a hostel, mostly because the bedrooms are spread across three floors and four of them have their own view of the mountain. The sauna is in the basement next to the boot room, which is the correct place for a sauna.

Zermatt is car-free. The electric taxi from the station takes six minutes and Céline books it for you.

“The wood on the outside of this chalet is 260 years old and came from a barn in Törbel. Everything inside it is new. That contrast is the house.”

“Ten of us, three generations, and nobody was on top of anybody. Waking up to the Matterhorn through the balcony doors is worth the entire trip.”
The Oyelaran familyLondon · March 2026
“Ski-in is genuinely ski-in — you stop at the boot room door. After a week of that I cannot go back to a shuttle bus.”
StefanVienna · February 2026
“The great room with the fire going and snow coming down outside is exactly the picture in your head when you book a chalet. It delivers.”
IngridOslo · February 2026
“Expensive, and worth it. Céline had the fridge stocked with what we asked for and arranged instructors for the kids. Effortless week.”
