Zermatt

Location & Arrival

“A quiet and optimal location in the heart of Zermatt nature”

Location

The Element Chalets are located outside the centre towards Zen Stecken, about 5 minutes walk from the sports field and Forest Fun Park.

The houses are located directly next to the ski slope "Furi - Blatten - Zermatt" on the last decent to the valley, about 200m below the Après Ski Bar "Hennu Stall".

Coming from the village you have a flat way home. The last 10 minutes you walk on a hiking trail and this only leads the last 3 minutes over a steeper passage up to the chalets.

Unfortunately the chalets are not marked on the map of Zermatt. However, you can see the marking of the chalets on the map in the area (E16). From this part of the village it is barely 5-8 minutes walking time.

How to travel to Zermatt

Journey by car 

Zermatt is car-free. Access for private traffic is only permitted up to Täsch. Täsch lies 5 km before Zermatt, the road Täsch - Zermatt is closed for public traffic. From Täsch you can take a taxi or train to Zermatt.

What do we recommend:

Make your journey as comfortable as possible.

We would be happy to recommend that you park your car at Taxi Christoph in Täsch and then take the taxi service to Zermatt. At the entrance to Zermatt you change to an electric taxi of the same company, which will take you directly to the nearby hiking trail, in summer even up to the chalets.

If you prefer to take the train, you can park in Täsch directly at the station and then take the shuttle Täsch-Zermatt, which runs every 20 minutes. The journey takes 12 minutes. You can transport your luggage from your car to the train using the luggage trolley (free of charge, deposit coin CHF 5). At the train station in Zermatt you can take an electric taxi and take it to our chalets.

We recommend that you take the company Taxi Christoph, which will even take you up to the chalets in summer.
