Chalet Zen

Zermatt offers some excellent accommodation but the vast majority is in apartments and hotels. Chalet Zen, however, is the most fabulous private house, and is one of only a handful available to rent in this world-class resort.

Just 100m from the main lift up to Schwarzsee and Klein Matterhorn with direct access to the new Furi Riffelberg connection, Chalet Zen is easily reached by skis at the end of the day, often after a drink or spot of tea at Zum See on the way down. It is also only a short stroll to the centre of town, making the chalet perfectly located for both skiers and non-skiers alike.
