Zermatt Loft, Zermatt, Switzerland
On a ‘wow’ scale of one to ten, the Zermatt Loft effortlessly resides in the ten zone. It combines warmth, style in abundance, a setting that’s hard to beat, and is wrapped up in a construction similar to a Manhattan-style loft. The chalet comprises a whopping 300m2 and it fuses together glass, steel, concrete and wood that would happily house the biggest of divas. The property has three en suite double bedrooms, private lift access, a sauna and Jacuzzi and a living room with a suspended table that works as a coffee or dining table, or can even be raised to create further living space. With floor to ceiling panoramic windows overlooking the beautiful village, you may struggle to substitute the loft for the slopes. Wow indeed.
