About this property

Chalet Bergheim - Unique, Private, Ski-in/ski-out Swiss Mountain Chalet

Chalet Bergheim is a magical, private, ski-in/ski-out mountain chalet, built in 1933 in traditional walliser style wooden construction. Renovated in 2014, the chalet is furnished with bespoke, hand made furniture and natural materials but with all of the features you would expect in a modern mountain chalet including free wi-fi throughout, a whirlpool bath and open log fire. The chalet is completely surrounded by nature with virtually no neighbours in sight, and you don't have to share the property with anyone! Outside there is a large private garden and terrace, with a beautiful natural 8 person cedar hottub, fire pit and bbq facilities, perfect for soaking up the sunshine. The chalet is sold on a self-catering basis but a catering service or fresh food delivery may be available on request.

One of the only free-standing chalets in Zermatt, the chalet sleeps 6 adults comfortably in 3 double bedrooms with 2 bathrooms (one with separate whirlpool room overlooking Matterhorn). With additional beds the maximum occupancy is 9 (max 7 adults, 1 children and 1 baby).

Nestled in the tree line at 1750m and overlooking the rooftops of Zermatt, the chalet is directly on the Sunegga ski-piste giving access to the 450 kilometers of pistes offered by the best known resort in Switzerland. Ski hard all day, grab a glass of wine and sit in front of the open fire or enjoy the evening sunshine on the terrace taking in the majestic views of the Matterhorn, that for us is the perfect day.

Or in the Summer, take the mountain bike up to a mountain lake for a swim, hit some single trail on the way down, go for a hike in the woods and then end the day with sausages on the bbq and a drink or two around a camp fire in the fire pit.

If like us, you are in love with the mountains and you value stunning natural surroundings, your own space, and a host of amazing adventures on your doorstep then you will fall in love with this place.

LOCATION

The chalet is in a stunning location above the village of Zermatt with dramatic views of the majestic Matterhorn. Far enough away to feel remote but close enough to access the many amenities Zermatt has to offer.

- Direct on the ski-piste from Sunegga
- 20-25min uphill walk from the centre of Zermatt
- Nearby restaurants within a short walk from the house
- Surrounded by nature with very few neighbours
- 400m from the nearest road access point in Winter (access by cleared footpath). Direct access to chalet by taxi in summer.
- Hike and MTB direct from the front door in the summer
- South facing for afternoon/evening sunshine

Zermatt is a car-free village and hence access by private car to the property is not possible.

IMPORTANT IN WINTER: In winter it's only possible to access the property to within 400m by taxi, and after that you must go by foot on a prepared winter trail (direct access by taxi possible in summer). From the town to the chalet it is a 20-25min walk uphill. There is however an elevator during lift opening hours which reduces the amount of uphill and walking time! From the ski piste to the chalet there are steps. Prior to guest arrival we clear the steps of snow and lay grit. However, should there be snowfall then snow clearance may be required during your stay. Should there be insufficient snow on the piste next to the house, it is 400m walk to a snow-sure piste. In winter free luggage transfer is available Saturdays 10am until 4pm unless very poor weather conditions. You therefore must plan to be in Zermatt before 3:15pm at the latest on arrival day!

Fantastic holiday at wonderful Bergheim
This is around the 25th time I'm on a holiday in Zermatt and it has been the best accommodation I stayed at. It is truly a beautiful chalet, all accommodation you can wish for and the setting is fantastic. If you want a place to relax and de-stress this is where you want to be. It may be a bit of a hike to town but then again it's an active holiday we signed up for! (And the sunnegga elevator makes it actually quite easy so I could go and get freshly baked bread every morning) The owners were also quick to respond to any questions we had and after our wonderful 3 week stay we now feel part of the "family Bergheim" :-)

A wonderful find!
Chalet Bergheim is an absolute gem of a chalet. It is in a great location for ski in/ ski out skiing. The accommodation is excellent for two families sharing. The chalet is equipped to a high standard. The sun terrace is great to relax on after a days skiing with the incredible views of the Matterhorn. The living space is generous and the provision of a towelling robe for each guest a lovely touch. The whole booking experience was very easy as was arrival and departure. We loved the fact the chalet was so easy to ski back to at the end of the day - you do however need to be able ski down a red run to get to it. It is a slight walk to the village but we prefer to self cater so it didn't bother us and we loved the feeling of seclusion that the chalet had. I would highly recommend Chalet Bergheim to anyone - you are in for a real treat if you book it.

Traumchalet in Zermatt
Wir verbrachten eine super Woche in Zermatt. Sowohl der herzliche Empfang am Bahnhof in Zermatt (inklusive Gepäcktransport in James-Bond-Manier mit Air Zermatt) als auch das mit viel Liebe zum Detail renovierte Chalet machten uns den Aufenthalt sehr angenehm. Das Chalet ist komplett und mit viel Geschmack eingerichtet, besonders haben wir die Regendusche sowie den offenen Kamin genossen. Und für die Skifreaks: direkter Zugang zu den Pisten. Alles in allem kann ich Chalet Bergheim nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

About the host

Hosted by Will & Amanda

Host profile image
We are a young family of mountain lovers living and working in Zurich but with our hearts in Zermatt. Originally from the UK, we have spent many years working abroad in Europe and Asia Pacific until we finally settled in the beautiful Switzerland. For us, no other country compares in terms of natural beauty, and Zermatt is the pinnacle.

Why they chose this property

After moving to Switzerland in 2010, we have been searching for the perfect mountain chalet to call home. We didn't want just any old house or town centre apartment, but a chalet with charm, charisma and character. We must have looked at nearly 50 properties before coming across Chalet Bergheim and falling in love instantly! It has the perfect balance of being able to get away from it all, but being close enough to town to enjoy the benefits of Zermatt. Plus it has all the essentials of log fire, ski-in/ski-out and large garden! Following the renovation work we have carried out over the last year, it also has a touch of understated luxury not often found in a mountain chalet. It really is an escape to the mountains.
