Villa, Zermatt
Chalet Shalimar
Availability upon request, please reach out to the host for more details.
Host a special occasion, family reunion or destination wedding in the shadow of the Matterhorn at Chalet Shalimar. With spacious living areas, resort-worthy amenities and the option for catered service, this luxury Zermatt vacation rental can accommodate up to twenty guests in style and comfort. Though the villa is tucked in serene Winkelmatten, it’s still close to shopping and dining, and ski-in, ski-out access puts you on the lift in minutes.
A self-catered holiday at Chalet Shalimar includes in-house ski and boot fitting and lift pass delivery, and the fully catered option adds chef service, several evenings of hors d’oeuvres, champagne and four-course dinners and two days of ski instruction. After a day on the slopes, glide back to the villa, leave your equipment in the ski storage room, and relax with a few laps in the private indoor swimming pool, a session in the hammam or a treatment in the spa and massage room. There’s an elevator to whisk you to each floor of the chalet, and, for warmer weather, a spacious terrace with an al-fresco dining area.
Inside the chalet, reclaimed wood paneling, a peaked roof and floor-to-ceiling windows speak to traditional mountain architecture and showcase stunning views of the Swiss Alps, while stone fireplaces and plush upholstery add warmth and softness. When the property is rented as a whole, the entire top floor is divided into a spacious sitting area and a generous dining area that can seat up to twenty guests, and a fully equipped, state-of-the-art kitchen makes it easy to prep for the whole party.
Each of the ten bedrooms at Chalet Shalimar has a king bed and en-suite bathroom; the beds can be converted to two twin beds for added flexibility. The bedrooms are divided between three apartments: Elena, in which each of the four bedrooms opens to the terrace; Triftji, in which the three bedrooms all open to a balcony; and Hornli, which also has three bedrooms that open to a balcony.
From the villa, it’s just an 8-minute walk to the Matterhorn Express Lift—or a shorter trip on skis, when the snow permits. It’s also just a 1 km walk or short electric taxi ride to central Zermatt, famous for its charming pedestrian-friendly streets, where you can browse for the perfect souvenir or relive your honeymoon in a restaurant with breathtaking Matterhorn views. In warmer months, play an unforgettable high-altitude round at Golf Club Matterhorn, 10 km away. At the end of your trip, make your connection via Malpensa Airport, 176 km away, Zurich Airport, 235 km away, or Geneva International Airport, 240 km away.
