Design chalet by Heinz Julen with unique hydraulic rooftop hot-tub

This chalet is based on an old Valais house dating from the 1940s, which local designer & architect Heinz Julen has modernized and extended by two stories in line with the chalet nature of the building. This extension has been constructed exclusively from local larch and designed to include large areas of glass, providing a spectacular 360 degree panoramic view over the village and the Matterhorn.

The chalet has 5 double bedrooms. The roof structure has open gables, and provides an open living, dining and kitchen space, with the fireplace giving the place a cozy atmosphere. At the end opposite said fireplace, Heinz has devised and built a spectacular hot tub – a fascinatingly small feat of engineering, which is probably unique among its kind worldwide. The hot tub accommodates up to 6 people. At the press of a button the roof opens, and the hot tub is hydraulically lifted above the roof … The view from there is breathtaking, making the experience unique and memorable. To complete this exclusive experience, the chalet’s own spa facility also includes a sauna.

Small private home cinema and games room

The bedrooms are spread over the two floors below. Right down in the cellar, there is a small private home cinema and games room, and is equipped with Internet facilities and a workstation. Also a toilet and shower can be found there. Right next door is the skiing room, with heated ski boot racks. All these rooms have access to a private lift. The chalet has an overall surface of 320m².

Furnishings have been developed and manufactured in the Heinz Julen studio in Zermatt

Naturally all the furniture and furnishings have been developed and manufactured in the Heinz Julen studio in Zermatt. The chalet is moreover equipped with contemporary art from Zermatt’s art rooms. Here Heinz focuses on coziness and tradition, blended with modern-day flair, in an impressive manner, making you instantly feel at home.

A chalet manager, a chef and chalet maids

Moreover, there is also an exclusive team, led by a chalet manager, a chef and chalet maids, dedicated to making your stay as perfect as possible. On six evenings the exclusive cookery team headed by Ivo Adam will cook for you on site. The chalet is situated in a quiet residential district in the centre of Zermatt, and at the same time centrally located in relation to the cable cars to the respective skiing resorts.

Prices are for exclusive use of the chalet to include full gourmet catering and complimentary drinks bar. Rates also available on request for Bed and Breakfast or Self Catered board.
