Elena

Occupying the ground floor of a prestigious residence in the tranquil enclave of Winklematten, Elena is a magnificently proportioned alpine apartment of 386 square metres, thoughtfully designed to accommodate eight guests across four generous bedrooms. Each room may be configured as a twin or a double, and every one benefits from a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom with a separate shower, dressed throughout in fine Egyptian cotton linens, plush bathrobes, slippers and premium bathroom amenities. The result is a home that feels simultaneously intimate and expansive, its two open-plan living and dining rooms connected by an interconnecting door to form a seamlessly unified whole, with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors drawing the eye outward to a lovely garden and terrace.

The setting rewards every glance. From the terrace, guests are afforded sweeping views of the Matterhorn, an outlook that proves particularly enchanting as the mountain glows at dusk whilst one savours a glass of champagne in the cool alpine air. Children are equally well served, with the snow-covered garden immediately beyond the chalet's doors providing a natural playground, whilst the dedicated ski and boot room on the ground floor ensures departures onto the slopes are effortlessly organised. The open-plan kitchen, presiding over the dining area, invites guests to observe a private chef at work during catered stays, adding a convivial theatre to mealtimes.

Wellness facilities, shared with the penthouse apartment above, are of the highest order, encompassing a sauna, hammam, massage room and a beautiful indoor swimming pool. The centre of Zermatt lies just a fifteen-minute scenic walk or a short electric taxi ride away, preserving the sense of peaceful seclusion that defines Winklematten whilst keeping the resort's celebrated restaurants, boutiques and mountain lifts comfortably within reach. Elena is available on a catered, bed and breakfast, self-catered or accommodation-only basis, allowing each party to tailor their stay precisely to their wishes.
