Chalet Ibron, Zermatt, Switzerland

Chalet Ibron is a luxurious freestanding three storey independent chalet with four double bedrooms, three bathrooms and a sauna. Its location provides the best of both worlds - spectacular views and easy access. 200 metres from the Matterhorn Express lift station and from the end of the resort run there is a street level tunnel which leads you to a lift (elevator) built inside the mountain, from the top of which there is a gentle two minute walk and short staircase to the property. Skis and boots can be left in the tunnel's ski-room.

This chalet has been tastefully decorated, delicately combining an alpine, cosy and contemporary finish, with liberal use of wood and stone. It has all the latest technology with flat-screen TVs, more than a hundred satellite channels, a rotating fireplace and geothermal heating to reduce the chalet's carbon foot-print as much as possible.

The chalet's master bedroom enjoys the use of its own private sauna, perfect to relax after a long day in the mountains. On the ground floor you have the sitting room and an open-plan kitchen with the dining table, both giving on to the large terrace accessed through French windows. There is also a boot-room, utility room with washing machine and dryer, and a guest W/C.

The first floor has two double bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms. The larger bedroom is L-shaped with a sitting / dressing area like a junior suite. The other bathroom has an extra door leading to the landing, providing access for the bedroom upstairs which has no en-suite. Both these bedrooms have large south-east facing balconies.

The second floor is where the luxurious master bedroom is, with an open-plan bath tub, separate open-plan shower, separate W/C, and private sauna. The second double bedroom is smaller and has no en-suite bathroom - it uses the bathroom on the first floor. Both these bedrooms have beautiful sloping wooden ceilings, and the master bedroom has a wide balcony with a glorious panorama. Each bedroom has its own TV (satellite/DVD) and stunning mountain views. The chalet is equipped with wireless broadband.

Chalet Ibron is a rare gem; a large freestanding chalet in Zermatt which has been conceived to meet your needs and wishes to the fullest possible extent.
