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

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.)
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!
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!
It was an amazing apartment very well situated within Zermatt. The host was very gracious and helpful. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!
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.
The place was amazing, location was perfect.
This property has a great location and very convenient!
Perfect apartment to enjoy Zermatt! The fireplace makes it cosy and special and Adrian is an excellent host. Highly recommended.
The apartment was very convenient if you’re arriving by train with lots of luggage since it was only a 2 min walk from the main station. It is also a quick walk to many shops and restaurants. The place was very clean and Adrian provided lots of information for us about Zermatt. I would definitely recommend this place!
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!
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.
