As one of Zermatt's most exclusive luxury chalets, The Backstage Chalet is one of a kind.
Starting with a traditional 1940`s Chalet the leading Swiss Architect Heinz Julen has cleverly modernised and extended the building to create a stunning contemporary triplex apartment sleeping up to 11 guests in five en-suite double bedrooms.
The work undertaken by Heinz added two floors to the original building where the extension has been constructed exclusively from local larch and features huge glass windows and, providing spectacular 360 degree panoramic view over the village and the Matterhorn.
The property has its own private entrance and elevator accessing allbut the top floor and is ideally located in a quiet residential district close to the centre of Zermatt and a short walk from the main Klein Matterhorn lift station.
The top floor of the property contains the impressive open plan living, dining and kitchen area. Natural light floods into this bright stylish space due to its glass surrounds and the high ceilings with exposed gables and beams. The fireplace adds ambience in the evenings.
The wellness area boasting a Jacuzzi and small sauna and toilet is also located on this floor. A fascinatingly small feat of engineering, Heinz has devised and built a spectacular jacuzzi accommodating 4 people comfortably. At the press of a button the ceiling opens and the jacuzzi is hydraulically lifted out above the roof from where you can take in the breath-taking 360 degree views of the village and the Matterhorn.
The chalet’s five double bedrooms are laid out over the 3rd and 2nd floors below the entertaining floor, with two of the bedrooms on the 3rd floor and three on the 2nd floor. All the bedrooms have en-suite facilities and televisions, where some of the rooms have access to balconies on either side of the building. One of the bedrooms on the 3rd floor has an extra single bed located on a mezzanine perfect for children.
The lower ground floor of the chalet contains a small private home cinema room with a further shower room. Next to this is located the ski room, with heated ski boot racks.
All the furniture and fittings of the property have been designed and manufactured in the Heinz Julen studios in Zermatt and the walls are adorned with contemporary art from Zermatt's art rooms.
The chalet can be sold on a catered or self-catered basis.
