Accessed by its own private funicular railway built into the side of the mountain, and positioned in the exclusive Petit Village area of Zermatt with what are arguably the finest direct views of the Matterhorn available from any private chalet in the resort, Chalet Maurice is a luxury chalet rental of exceptional distinction. Designed by renowned architect Magali de Tscharner and built in 2008 as the founding property of the Elysian Collection, it set a new standard for private alpine living in Zermatt — one that remains as compelling today as ever.
At 500 square metres spread across three floors, the chalet accommodates 12 guests across six large ensuite bedrooms, five of which have their own private balcony or terrace with direct Matterhorn views. The interiors are a masterclass in considered alpine chic — sumptuous fabrics and rich wood in charcoal grey, cream, and white, with chrome bathroom fittings, heated towel rails, and a finish that manages to feel simultaneously glamorous and deeply comfortable. The crowning glory is the master suite, which occupies the entire top floor: an open fireplace, double-height pitched ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a private balcony with uninterrupted views of the Matterhorn from every angle.
The open-plan living and dining room is generous and beautifully lit, with large south-facing balconies on every level for sunbathing and sundowners against the mountain panorama. A sauna, outdoor hot tub, massage room, and ski room with heated boot racks complete an amenity list that has been thought through from first run to last drink. The Sunnegga ski lift is five minutes away by electric taxi, with the car-free centre of Zermatt just two minutes further.
Chalet Maurice is a Zermatt chalet rental for those who want the mountain at its most magnificent — and every comfort imaginable waiting for them when they come in from the cold.
