Description
Snuggled up under the rafters of this plush ski-in/ski-out penthouse, your eye is drawn outside to the twinkling lights of Zermatt and the outline of the Matterhorn against a brooding night sky. The floor to ceiling windows of the High 7 Penthouse chalet create the sensation of being on top of the world, in this Swiss winter wonderland.
The Penthouse has plenty of space over two floors for eight guests and is one of four beautifully furnished apartments in the Chalet High Seven building. It has the kind of chic, deluxe style that graces the pages of interiors magazines. Warm wood, natural stone and soft woollen tweeds abound, and the space is filled with light. Sleek contemporary kitchen and bathroom fittings give it that chic, boutique finish.
Five star service is all part of the experience at the High 7 Penthouse chalet. Your chalet host serves you a refreshing glass of Champagne and sorts out all the details of your stay. Your lift passes, ski lessons and activities can all be arranged whilst you relax on the sofa, or take a soothing hot bath in the beautiful freestanding tub. And the housekeeper visits every day, so you always come home to a perfect pad.
In the kitchen, the chef is busy preparing a delicious meal, spoiling you with gourmet treats from breakfast through to afternoon tea and the evening meal. Kick back in front of the striking 360 degree fireplace, or step out onto the balcony to appreciate the magical setting of High 7 Penthouse, set within Zermatt’s exclusive Winkelmatten district.
But if you enjoy your independence, High 7 Penthouse can be offered on a self-catered basis that allows you to set your own schedule on your luxury ski holiday.
Apart from the deluxe credentials already mentioned, there is an added feature which makes it really special. Chalet High 7 Penthouse has its own gorgeous wellness area, where you can sooth away aches and pains in the Bio Sauna and Jacuzzi-style relaxation bath. Your host can also arrange for beauty therapists and masseurs to visit.
And the icing on the cake is the fact that you can ski in and out. Just glide up to the door and zoom up to the cosy nest of the High 7 Penthouse.

Catering
Guests at this sophisticated Penthouse are looked after by an experienced private chef who is happy to adapt the gourmet menus to suit your tastes. A pre-arrival menu consultation gives you the opportunity to discuss likes and dislikes, plus any specific dietary requirements.
Breakfasts and afternoon teas are included, as as well as delicious 4-course evening meals which are served on five nights of the week, complemented by carefully selected house wines as you tuck in to the aromatic food, at the stylish dining table.
And if you have children, the chef will be happy to prepare a separate early supper for them if you prefer. Then you might be able to get the kids to bed before settling down to an evening of feasting and conviviality.
Alternatively, High 7 Penthouse can be offered on a self-catered basis where guests can explore the wonderful restaurants of Zermatt.
Kids
Zermatt is a wonderful place for a family holiday, and High 7 Penthouse makes a luxurious base. Just 15 minutes walk from the centre of Zermatt, it is perfectly placed for easy access to the slopes and a short hop to the shops. The car-free streets are very attractive, and it’s easy and fun to get around on the electric taxis, or by hopping in a horse-drawn carriage.
As well as skiing, there are lots of exciting activities such as ice skating, tobogganing and swimming, or you can take the kids up the Gornergrat cog railway for lunch at the top of the mountain. Nannies and babysitters can be arranged too – just let us know what you need. Whatever the children get up to in Zermatt, it’s always nice to come home to a beautiful cosy chalet where a delicious afternoon tea is laid out for you and everything is tidy and clean.
The chalet staff are on hand to provide whatever you need to keep your little ones happy, whether it is fish fingers for tea at 5pm, or a glass of hot milk at 9.30. iPads and iPods can be plugged in, and there are TVs and DVD players in every bedroom, so keeping them entertained is easy. Just let us know if you need any cots or baby equipment and we can have the Penthouse set up ready for your arrival.
