About Chalet Matterland

Chalet Matterland is a self-catered chalet in Zermatt, sleeping 4 in 2 bedrooms. The nearest lift, Zermatt - Furi Ski Lift, is about 370m away — close enough to walk in boots. It has a hot tub and a fireplace. In the last week of December the afternoons are short and everybody comes in cold, which is when a hot tub stops being a luxury and starts being the best thing in the resort. Beds: 2 large doubles, with 2 bathrooms.

Zermatt scores 74 out of 100 on our Christmas Snow Score, with the village at 1608m. That is among the more dependable places to be skiing in Christmas week.

Who it's for

  • Hot tub
  • Fireplace
  • Pet friendly

Sleeping 4, it suits a couple or one small family. Pets are allowed, so the dog can come for Christmas too. It is self-catered, so you cook — including on the 25th. That suits groups who want to eat on their own schedule.

Things to consider

Resort supermarkets keep short and unpredictable hours over Christmas and many close entirely on the 25th. Order ahead or shop on arrival. Check the bed layout and what is included (linen, towels, final cleaning) on Booking.com before you book — Christmas week is often sold as a fixed seven nights.
