Zermatt is a car-free village at the foot of the Matterhorn, and staying in peace five minutes from the centre is a privilege there.

For couples, families and skiers looking for space and quiet rather than the shopping street: two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large volume under the roof and the light of the mezzanine. For six, everyone has their place; for two or four, you enjoy the space.
Access via 80 outdoor steps requires being comfortable with stairs, with luggage and skis. Our arrival instructions explain the journey from the station, by electric taxi or on foot.
The centre and the Bahnhofstrasse gather shops and restaurants, a few minutes from the station and from the Gornergrat and Sunnegga departures. Winkelmatten, a residential hamlet above the village, is popular with families and gives access to the slopes via Furi. The Hinterdorf, the old village, keeps its historic mazots.
Bodmenstrasse, where our apartment stands, is five minutes on foot from the centre, uphill: hence the village views and the quiet, and the steps.
Zermatt is closed to cars: you leave yours at the Täsch car park and take the rail shuttle (12 minutes), or arrive directly by train from Visp. In the village, electric taxis and electric buses handle transfers.
Winter. 360 km of slopes over three sectors, up to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, and a season running from November to May. The end-of-year holidays and February are the most requested weeks.
Summer. Summer skiing on the glacier, hiking towards Sunnegga, the Gornergrat and the lakes, the Matterhorn at every turn of the trail: Zermatt lives all year round, with an international clientele.
Tourist tax. Zermatt Tourismus collects 4 francs per adult per night according to the municipal regulation; the amount is shown before you book.
Where to stay in Zermatt
Zermatt is a compact village, and an apartment rental in Zermatt comes down to three things: how close it is to the centre, how quiet the neighbourhood is, and how far it is to the lifts. The station is in the heart of the village, right next to the Gornergrat railway; from there the Bahnhofstrasse, Zermatt's promenade with its bars, restaurants, shops, bakeries and patisseries, runs towards the church.
Next to the Grand Hotel Zermatterhof, a few steps from the Bahnhofstrasse, the Hinterdorf is the old part of the village: around thirty barns, granaries, stables and old houses from the 16th to the 18th century, built of larch, some standing on flat stone slabs to keep the mice out. Right beside it, the English Quarter runs from the church along the back of the Zermatterhof; it owes its name to the British visitors who came in the 19th century for the four-thousand-metre peaks of Valais.
Obere Matten, in the centre between the shopping centre and the Pavillon restaurant, has sports grounds and a playground for children aged 1 to 12. Steinmatte is a quiet, sought-after residential quarter a few minutes on foot from the village centre. Winkelmatten, the hamlet at the southern end of the village, has a fine view of the Matterhorn, a chapel built in 1607 and a playground; the Winkelmatten line of the free electric bus links it to the village, and waymarked trails from Zermatt to Furi and to Sunnegga pass through Winkelmatten.
Our apartment is on Bodmenstrasse, on the slope above the Bahnhofstrasse, between the station and the church: five minutes on foot from the centre, about ten minutes from the station by electric taxi or on foot, then 80 outdoor steps with no lift. The view is over the village; the photos on the booking page show exactly what you see from the windows.
Arriving without a car
Zermatt is car-free: private vehicles may only go as far as Täsch, and driving on to Zermatt without authorisation means heavy fines. The Matterhorn Terminal in Täsch has 2,100 covered parking spaces, 131 of them with charging points, and private operators have over 1,000 further spaces. From there the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn shuttle train leaves every 20 minutes during the day, every hour in the evening and all night at weekends, reaching the centre of Zermatt in 12 minutes. Free luggage trolleys, against a CHF 5.– deposit, can be taken on board the shuttle.
By train there is no need to change at Täsch: from Visp, the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn runs directly to Zermatt station in just over an hour, and trains to Zermatt run every half hour. According to Zermatt Tourismus, Zermatt is three and a half hours from Zurich Airport and four hours from Geneva and Basel airports.
Private cars do not enter the village: people get around on foot, by electric taxi or e-bus, or even by horse-drawn carriage. Electric taxis carry passengers and luggage, and several firms operate around the clock all year; the electric bus is free and runs two lines, the Ski-Bus and the Winkelmatten line. On winter Saturdays at peak times the taxis are in high demand, so it is best to book your ride in advance.
For luggage, the SBB service carries suitcases to Zermatt, station to station (collection two days after drop-off) or door to door. To our apartment on Bodmenstrasse, allow about ten minutes from the station by electric taxi or on foot, then 80 outdoor steps; the detailed route is sent to you before arrival.
When to come
Winter. The 2026-2027 winter season of the Zermatt lifts (Zermatt Bergbahnen) runs from 1 November 2026 to 3 May 2027. The Sunnegga-Rothorn and Gornergrat areas open on 28 November 2026; Sunnegga-Rothorn closes on 11 April and Gornergrat on 18 April 2027. In early November and from mid-April, not every area is open, so check the lift and piste report for the status of the day.
Peak season. Over the end-of-year holidays, in February and around Easter, stays in our apartment normally start on a Saturday; the rest of the year the minimum is usually four nights. The calendar on the booking page shows the exact rule for your dates.
Summer skiing. On the Theodul Glacier, reached by cable car via Furi and Trockener Steg up to the Klein Matterhorn at 3,883 m, lies the largest and highest summer ski area in Europe, with up to 21 km of pistes. It closes at midday to keep conditions good for the next day, so go up early. The lift company advertises skiing and snowboarding 365 days a year.
Summer and autumn. The trails then belong to hikers. The 5-lake route (5-Seenweg) links Blauherd (2,571 m) and Sunnegga (2,288 m) in three and a half hours over 11.3 km, past the Stellisee, Grindjisee, Grünsee, Moosjisee and Leisee; the Matterhorn is reflected in three of them. Before each hike, check the lift timetables, and remember that the weather changes quickly in the mountains.
Chalet or apartment
We do not manage any chalet in Zermatt today: our only bookable property in the village is the apartment for six on Bodmenstrasse presented above, and two more apartments open this winter.
If you are looking for a chalet rental in Zermatt, bear in mind that the word often refers to a house divided into several apartments. In the accommodation listings of Zermatt Tourismus, many addresses carry the name Chalet but are let apartment by apartment: four apartments in one, seven studios and apartments in another. For each offer, check whether you are renting the whole house or an apartment in it, how many bedrooms and bathrooms it has, and how you will get there from the station with your luggage, since private cars do not enter the village.
For up to six guests, our apartment offers much of what people look for in a chalet: two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large space under the roof with a mezzanine, a fully equipped kitchen and views over the village, five minutes on foot from the centre. For a larger group, we have no property in Zermatt. We do manage chalets in other resorts, including a family chalet for eight in Villars-sur-Ollon and a semi-detached chalet for six in Crans-Montana: you will find them among our other resorts, further down this page.
