Zermatt luxury ski chalet apartment Whymper Residence is named after Edward Whymper, the first Alpinist to reach the summit of the Matterhorn.

The third floor apartment is absolutely vast with 315 sqm of space and perfectly situated in what is quite simply the best location in Zermatt: in the heart of the village, next to the ice skating rinks (tennis courts in the summer), 1 minute away from the main shopping centre and 2 minutes away from the Gornergrat mountain railway.

It features 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and a TV room which can be closed off and turned into a fifth bedroom if needed. It can sleep 9 adults comfortably, and up to 12 adults and kids in total. It of course has perfect Matterhorn views!

Guests staying in the Whymper have free access via a short tunnel to the Schweizerhof hotel’s indoor swimming pool and extensive spa facilities.*
