The Property
Backstage Chalet in Zermatt is a beautiful blend of traditional Valais architecture with contemporary design. Accommodating 10 guests across 5 bedrooms. This Refurbished farmhouse was modernised and extended in line with the chalet nature of the building. This extension has been constructed exclusively from local larch and designed to include large areas of glass, providing a spectacular 360 degree panoramic view over the village and the Matterhorn. Still flaunting its traditional aesthetic, vaulted ceilings and visible wooden beams are always present in the interior of this chalet.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious open-plan living area consisting of a kitchen, dining area and living space. Natural light is abundant in this build, with windows situated from almost all corners of the build, including the roof, breathing life into the chalet every morning. A central wood burning fireplace ensures guests are warm throughout their stay. Naturally, all the furniture and furnishings have been developed and manufactured in the Heinz Julen studio in Zermatt. The chalet is moreover equipped with contemporary art from Zermatt's art rooms. Here Heinz focuses on cosiness and tradition, blended with a modern-day flair, in an impressive manner, making you instantly feel at home. With all its originality and innovation, the Backstage chalet stands a good chance of redefining the term "5-star luxury chalet business" in Zermatt.
