Editor's Review

A charming and intimate 75 square metre rustic sanctuary perched high above Zermatt in Findeln, 2,100 metres above sea level. Framing unobstructed views of the iconic Matterhorn, this cozy two-story mountain cottage accommodates up to four guests across a double bedroom with two additional single beds. Complete with a wood-burning fireplace, east- and west-facing sun terraces, a fully-fitted kitchen, and access to the Genesis Spa at the Backstage Hotel, it offers a peaceful mountain retreat above the main resort.

Overview

An authentic alpine getaway set in an alpine hamlet, the Mountain Cottage by Backstage Hotel is a cozy freestanding home located in Findeln, high above Zermatt, Switzerland. Spanning 75 square metres of living space across two floors, this residence comfortably accommodates up to four guests. It serves as an ideal mountain refuge for small families or close couples seeking peace, privacy, and dramatic high-altitude alpine views away from the village center below.

The cottage enjoys a prime high-altitude location in Findeln at 2,100 metres above sea level, placed right in the mountain landscape. Sitting high above the valley floor, it offers immediate access to local hiking trails, mountain pastures, and renowned local restaurants like Chez Vrony, while framing sweeping vistas directly toward the Matterhorn.

The interior styling balances traditional mountain cottage warmth with comfortable living. The entrance level hosts an open lounge and dining area anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and a cozy corner sofa. Adjoining the living space is a dining table for four and a fully-fitted kitchen. Double terraces positioned on both the east and west sides of the building allow guests to take in sunrise and sunset views over the surrounding peaks.

The upper story houses the cottage's bedroom quarters, featuring a bedroom furnished with a double bed and two single beds, making it well-suited for families with children, along with a dedicated bathroom. Included practical amenities feature satellite television, a cot and high chair on request, and complimentary access to the Genesis theme wellness spa at the Backstage Hotel Vernissage down in the main village.

Offered as a luxury mountain rental, stays include daily cleaning service, station shuttle transfers in Zermatt on arrival and departure, and access to concierge services. Breakfast can also be arranged on request and delivered directly to the cottage.

This is the perfect property to lounge away the days with a small family or a close group. Highly family friendly, the combination of twin single beds in the bedroom, dual outdoor sun terraces, a cozy fireplace, and direct mountain surroundings makes it a peaceful escape for children and adults alike. It stands out as an exceptional choice for an authentic mountain cottage retreat high above Zermatt.
