One of the twin/doubles has wheelchair/disabled facilities (wetroom/shower). Luxury toiletries, dressing gowns and slippers are all provided. The bedrooms and main sitting room also have cable TV whilst the chalet has its own Wi-Fi network. All bathrooms/showers have hairdryers and there are safes in all the bedrooms.

The large sitting/dining room has an atmospheric central fireplace and a TV corner. There is a contemporary, fully equipped kitchen which sits discreetly off the dining area and a terrace with a fabulous view of Zermatt’s iconic peak, the Matterhorn.

Chalet Binna is a fully-catered ski chalet and its philosophy towards food is total flexibility. Anything can be whipped up, but the predominant theme of the cooking is modern European. Dinner consists of four courses served with quality Swiss house wines. bottled table water and a wide selection of soft drinks.

The chalet has a “wellness” area with sauna, shower and relaxation area, and there is a large hot tub on the terrace which looks right up at the Matterhorn itself.

Chalet Binna is in the quiet Winkelmatten area of Zermatt. It is just a seven minute walk down to the Matterhorn Express bubble and it is 15 mins on foot to the village centre, with a bus stop only 30m away. For much of the season, you can ski back to within 100m of the chalet.

Zermatt is a vast ski area with high, extensive slopes suitable for all levels, as well as offering plenty of off-piste for the more adventurous and even heliskiing for the more advanced. It’s a car free resort too, so is a charming base, and the restaurants both in resort and on the mountain are unbeatable. Don’t miss lunch at Chez Vrony, possibly the best mountain restaurant in the Alps.

Zermatt has a number of wellness spas, beauty salons and swimming pools on offer. There is lots of lovely shopping too, along the boutique-lined, car-free streets. Non-skiers can also spend an afternoon with a local cheese maker, watching and learning about their art, or visit the Zermatt museum, sited under the glass dome of the former casino, which offers a fascinating stroll back in history through state-of-the-art presentations so visitors can experience the old world of Zermatt including the terrifying first ascent of the Matterhorn.
