Editor's Review
A massive 315 square metre luxury residence occupying the third floor of Haus Whymper in the very heart of Zermatt. Named after Edward Whymper, the first alpinist to scale the Matterhorn, this light-filled four-bedroom apartment features south-facing balconies framing uninterrupted views of the iconic peak. Complete with a study and TV room that can convert into a fifth bedroom, a fireplace, and tunnel-connected access to the nearby Schweizerhof Hotel spa and swimming pool, it offers an exceptional base in the centre of the village.
Overview
An exceptional showcase of expansive mountain living and central convenience, The Whymper Residence is a flagship third-floor property located in Zermatt, Switzerland. Spanning a vast 315 square metres accessible via elevator, this luxurious apartment accommodates 8 to 12 guests across four double or twin bedrooms, along with a converted TV room. It serves as an ideal alpine home for multi-generational families or close groups of friends seeking supreme space and Matterhorn views in an unmatched central location.
The property benefits from what is arguably the most central location in Zermatt, sitting directly beside the village ice skating rinks (which transform into tennis courts during the summer months). Positioned just one minute from the main shopping street and two minutes from Zermatt train station and the Gornergrat mountain railway, guests can transition effortlessly to the slopes, boutiques, and gourmet restaurants.
The interior styling balances elegant modern design with bright, sunny open-plan spaces. The primary living area is thoughtfully divided into three distinct zones: an inviting lounge centered around a traditional fireplace, an adjoining dining area with a spacious table, and a designer kitchen equipped with a breakfast bar. Large glass doors extend onto a wide south-facing balcony offering panoramic vistas of the Matterhorn.
The sleeping quarters comprise four double bedrooms and five bathrooms. The master suite features bay windows, a walk-in wardrobe with a writing desk, and an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, shower, and twin sinks. Two additional bedrooms share a large bathroom with a bathtub, while the fourth bedroom offers its own en-suite shower room. Twin beds feature extra fold-out capacity for children, and all twin rooms can be configured as doubles. Additionally, a study and TV snug equipped with a sofa bed and adjacent shower room can be closed off to serve as a fifth private bedroom.
During peak winter and summer seasons, guests staying at The Whymper Residence enjoy complimentary access via a short connected tunnel to the extensive spa facilities at the nearby Schweizerhof Hotel, which include a large indoor swimming pool, jacuzzis, saunas, a steam room, and a fitness suite. Practical amenities within the building include an in-house ski room with boot warmers, elevator access, and a private utility room with laundry facilities.
Managed by Zermatt specialist Mountain Exposure (MX Zermatt), stays are offered on a self-catered basis. Inclusions feature an electro-taxi arrival and departure station transfer, a welcome hamper, pre-arrival and in-resort concierge support, mid-stay or daily cleaning arrangements, and high-speed Wi-Fi with a large Smart TV.
This is the perfect property to lounge away the days with a close group of family or friends. Highly family friendly, the combination of hotel swimming pool access, a convertible TV room, flexible bedding setups, and a flat two-minute walk to the Gornergrat railway makes it an absolute paradise for children and teenagers alike. It stands out as an exceptional choice for a central luxury residence, delivering a memorable holiday in Zermatt.
