About this property

Perfectly placed for skiing / boarding and walking holidays around Zermatt

The is a127m2 two floor apartment on the top third and fourth floors of the apartment house. Most of the ceilings include massive wood timbers traditional in Swiss architecture.

After leaving the lift to the 3rd floor, you enter the apartment into a lovely open plan living area with ample seating, open fireplace access to the balcony and dining area, and connected to the kitchen via a counter. There is also a WC with wash hand basin.

Upstairs are two bedrooms - one Swiss-double and one with twin beds - with between them a shower-room with a large corner bath, a separate shower, double washbasins, WC and small washing machine.

At the bottom of the stairs a door leads to a bedroom & ensuite shower room. This large room has a Swiss-double bed, CD player, TV, table, a shower room, built in wardrobes, and a visually separated area suitable for an extra child’s bed or one or two travel cots (an extra bed and a cot are available by prior arrangement).

The kitchen, conveniently separated from the living room area by a counter, has a ceramic hob, full electric oven, dishwasher, fridge, Nesspresso coffee machine, kettle, and is well stocked with cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, glasses etc. There is a Fondue set, and a teapot and toaster. (A microwave oven is available in a cupboard if you need it.)

The dining area has a table which can seat 6 or more with the leaves extended, half the seating is traditional Swiss built in seating, and the other half chairs. There is a small sideboard, table mats, candlesticks etc.

Doors from the living room and also from the the downstairs bedroom lead to the 19m2 balcony with enjoyable mountain views, and from which also the top of the iconic Matterhorn can be seen. There is a sunbed, two tables and 6 chairs on the balcony.

The living room is furnished with two sofas and an armchair. This furniture, carpets and curtains were all new in 2012.

There is free wifi through the apartment, and the TV has many international channels including all UK terrestrial TV channels, and BBC radio, including radio 1,2,3,4.. There is a Zermatt channel which includes rotating webcam views from the high points of the area, so you can review the weather conditions before leaving home. There is also a fireplace, a CD player, and a multizone DVD player.

The two main supermarkets are also within walking distance, about 2 - 4 minutes away, important in Zermatt as there are no cars and all shopping has to be carried home.

The apartment is also within walking distance of the main station where everyone arrives (2 minutes) and Gornograt station (2 minutes, then about 45 minutes up to 3000 m) , and 10 minutes walk from Sunnega station (which whisks you underground up to 2300m in a few minutes). The stop for the free bus to Sunnega and to Klein Matterhorn (up to 3800m) gondlebahn is also 2 minutes walk (it's outside Gorngrat station.)

Fantastic Condo in Center of Town

We loved our stay at this condo for a fantastic ski vacation. It is beautiful, quiet, and is located less than a 5 minute walk from the train station in the center of town within a short walk of great restaurants. There was no problem walking to the the train lift and the funicular and the bus right next to the train station takes you to the gondola lift. We loved our time in Zermatt at this location!

Simply amazing!

This property, and host, are top notch. The location was perfectly central to everything in town! The apartment itself was more than we could have asked for our family. Plenty of room for everyone, and it has every modern amenity that you could possibly need. I wish we could have stayed longer, it was perfection.

Cozy, comfortable and super convenient

We had the most wonderful stay at Adrian’s apartment. It was the perfect location for us right by the station. The apartment is much bigger than the pictures and fully equipped with all your needs. It was so cosy and warm. We loved hanging out there and making our own cheese fondue. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning soon!

I can’t recommend Adrian’s apartment enough. It is beautiful, spacious, and in the best location in town. You’re just steps away from shops, bakeries, and restaurants. Getting to any of the slopes is also very easy. Next time I plan a trip to Zermatt I hope it’s available!

This is the place to stay in Zermatt!!!!!!

Very close to the train station and in the heart of the city! Our host made the place very easy to find when walking from train station. The apartment was perfect for our family vacation. It was my bucket list to ski with my 79 year old father in the Swiss Alps. The ski rental was close as was the grocery store. If I ever go back I would rent this apartment again! Amazing place to visit!

Excellent accommodation with everything you need

Bellevue has everything you want for a trip to Zermatt. It is a short walk from the train station but in a quiet part of town. You have a fully equipped kitchen and the layout of the apartment is comfortable and convenient. The balcony has a distant view of the Matterhorn and close view of the valley slopes. The owner is very helpful in suggesting activities in Zermatt or responding to questions. A great place for your trip to Zermatt and highly recommended.

Best location! Only 2 mins walk to the main train station and one of the train that go up to Gornergrat mountain. Very convenient for us going there for snowboarding! Nearby shops, grocery stores and restaurants. The apartment itself is very spacious with 3 bedrooms that fit a group of 6 of us. Although the apartment is a bit dated, all bathrooms are newly renovated, and the best part is the unit comes with washer and dryer! Kitchen has all the tools and equipments needed and we're happy to have cooked most meals there. The host Adrian was very nice and responsive, he provided lots of useful information to us before we arrived. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this booking! 🙂

Great Zermatt Appartment

We had a great stay at the apartment despite very poor snow conditions in Zermatt. The space is not fancy but has everything 4 adults and 2 kids need for a very comfortable stay. The newly renovated bathrooms are excellent as is the fireplace. The location is perfect. You can walk your luggage straight to the apartment from the train station. Zermatt is so small that everything else is easily walk-able except the Matterhorn Express Gondola which you can get a cab or a close bus ride to. The pictures of the apartment show exactly what you will get if you rent it.

The PERFECT home away from home

We spent Christmas week at Adrian's place in the Bellevue and we could not be happier that we chose this spot! It is perfectly located, a mere 2 minute walk from Migro's market and numerous restaurants and shops were just a few steps away yet the location, just off the main street, felt quiet and private. Everything was clean, the apartment was warm and cozy and had plenty of room for our family and friends (party of 7). Beds were comfortable, shower was great and the peek-a-boo view of the Matterhorn from the deck was a highlight each morning! Adrian was so helpful and responsive to any questions I sent him, a wonderful host. We will cherish our memories of Zermatt and hope to visit again someday, we would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic family ski trip

Our family of four (two adults,and our two boys 14 and 11) had a simply wonderful time in Zermatt at Adrian's apartment. It is perfectly set up, with everything necessary for a self catered trip, but close to the action as well. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and cosy, with a fireplace and underfloor heating. The wooden decor is more traditional than many apartments I saw advertised, which added to the feeling of cosiness. The beds were extremely comfortable. Location is simply perfect. Incredibly close to supermarkets, restaurants, the railway station and shuttle bus as well as the train up the mountain, I don't think a better position would be possible. Adrian was a helpful and generous host and we thank him for all his assistance and kindness. I really recommend this accommodation wholeheartedly. A real gem!

Ski trip to the Alps Jan. 2022

This condo was perfect for our family. It included my husband, me, daughter and her husband, son and his gf. Our children are late 20's early 30's. The location was very close to train station. The village was very walkable. The skiing was very nice, could have used more snow but the temps and views were amazing! Runs are longest we have ever skied. We are from the US and had to do a lot of things to travel during covid but so worth it. Adrian has a lovely place with everything you need for a stay.

Great place to stay in Zermatt!

Adrian’s place is in a perfect location for skiing in Zermatt: just 2-3 blocks from the main train station, the Gornergrat train up the mountain, multiple grocery stores, restaurants and shops, as well as an ice rink. It’s maybe a 1 minute walk to the Main Street where all the restaurants and shops are, so perfect for après ski! Since it was our first time in Zermatt, I was initially unsure which ski lifts to take and how to get to them, but it turns out it’s very easy to order an electric taxi to take you to whichever lift you prefer. We opted to hire a ski guide/instructor the first two days, and they met us at the apartment building, called the taxi, and helped us figure out our way around the slopes. Highly recommend doing that if it’s your first trip to Zermatt! The owner Adrian is also wonderful and easy to work with. He sent so much helpful information and great recommendations - including detailed instructions on what to buy and how to have a delicious fondue dinner night at home. He was also very responsive to any questions and clearly eager to share his love of Zermatt with others. Thanks Adrian for sharing your place with us. We made lots of great memories there!

A Special Family Retreat

After two years of COVID disruption, we finally got to experience this 2020 vacation in 2022. The apartment was perfect for us - 2 grandparents, son and his wife and 15 year-old granddaughter. They had their own 2 BR/Bath suite upstairs as we enjoyed the main level master BR/Bath. Location is just steps away from the main town street and all of the stores/restaurants but very quiet. Each morning the skiers assessed the weather by checking out the tip of the Matterhorn from the balcony. We cooked in some nights and the kitchen was very well stocked for 6 of us. Enjoyed eating out at the many great restaurants all within walking distance. Good location for a nonskier to safely walk and explore the history of this town. Nonskiers can also take the cog railway up the mountain and meet your family for lunch with breathtaking views. Apt also has very stable wifi and good TV options. Host Adrian was very helpful before and during the stay. In the unit, he had many helpful articles about the area. This property is a great choice for your special trip to Zermatt.

Great Location and Accomodation

Our 4th experience in Zematt - and this was a great one. We spent a full week skiing in December. Adrian, the owner, was extremely helpful and attentive to all our questions and needs. The apartment is cozy and decently appointed. The location is a quiet building literally around the corner from both the main train station and the Gornergrat train. We rented our ski equipment at Bayard, also around the corner from the apartment. You can catch the e-bus right there which will take you to the Sunnega funicular lift as well as to the Matterhorn cable cars for Trockner Steg, et al. Both the Coop and Migros are less than 5 minutes away by foot. So are the 2 skating rinks. The beds were plenty comfortable and there was good space for the whole family to hang out. The kitchen is a little small, but well equipped (though I wish the fridge/freezer would have been a little bigger). There is also a washing machine upstairs which was a life-saver for us - and Adrian was kind enough to translate the German instructions. We managed to sit the whole family around the dining table. The wifi coverage is perfect and the sat tv pulls in English programming, which was very useful for the kids. Adrian even has a small library of fiction which made for some good reading during down time. An added nice touch was the fireplace which we used (though we didn't need it for warmth as the heating system worked just fine).

About the host

Hosted by Adrian.

Host profile image
We moved to Switzerland in 2001 and fell in love with Zermatt. In many ways, Zermatt is even more enjoyable in summer than in winter. The weather is great, the village charming, and the mountains beautiful. We also love the wild flowers and wildlife, It is not uncommon to see the small horned Chamoix (Gems in German) or much larger horned Ibex (Steinbock in German) or Maromots. Golden Eagles are reputed to be common in the Alps now, and are reputed in 2012 to have nested in the Zmutt valley. The Lammergeier (literally Lamb-vulture in German) also called Bartgeier (bearded vulture) is very rare - only about 500 pairs in the European range. But they are being reintroduced into the east of Switzerland, and I have photographed one (in spring 2012) between Zermatt and Zmutt - it is a huge bird - up to about 2.5m wingspan. The silhouette photo - it was very high - cannot be loaded onto this website, but I am happy to send to you if you are interested.

We own our apartment as our holiday home and enjoy renting it to others to enjoy too.

Why they chose this property

The quiet yet central location, with views of the mountainside make this a gem of an apartment. In this car age we forget how heavy a few bottles of wine and a shopping bag of food can be when one has to carry it far - and Zermatt is spread over quite and extensive area. Being able to pop around the corner for the bread or croissants for breakfast while the rest of the household is getting up is very pleasant and convenient. As is access to the transport systems to get up (or down) the mountains if you prefer not to walk up (or down).

Cooking at home is enjoyable. There are also more than 50 restaurants in and around Zermatt - at all price points, and also plenty of bars. Supermarket prices are as for the rest of Switzerland. There is good shopping, a small alternative cinema (try to watch one of the charming old movies about Zermatt) and (we think public) tennis courts, become ice hockey rinks in the winter months.

What makes this property unique

Around 29 of Switzerlands 36 mountains over 4000m occur around the Zermatt valley. And only Zermatt has the very photogenic (see if you can stop photographing it!) Matterhorn. First ascent by Whymper an Englishman, although that's a tragic story. The English association with Zermatt is a long one - visit the charming Zermatt museum, modern with a novel audio guide around old Zermatt - to understand more. There is even an English Church; St Peter's.
