Guest Review: “One of the most beautiful places. The place is exactly as advertised. We were here for a week and had a car and went into Brunnen almost daily, only 5 minutes away. However, you could take the local bus that runs all day, I believe until at least midnight. We like to go out, but if you prefer cooking and staying in, the place has everything you need. Paul was always a quick to respond and very helpful.”

The chalet itself has an absolutely perfect, unobstructed view of the Matterhorn both from the rooms and the beautiful hot tub downstairs. It’s modern with a full ski and boot room downstairs (or one can just as easily leave skis at the bottom of the gondola). I would absolutely recommend Chalet Nepomuk and its fabulous hosts to anyone staying in Zermatt.” – David

The space was exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated. At our arrival Carole showed us around – there’s a lot of animals to pet and fields to wander about. There’s also a fridge with drinks and snacks, if you didn’t bring any. When it was time to have dinner, a fire was lit for us so we could grill our food we brought along. As we slept in the tent in May, the night was a bit chilly but since there’s a fireplace in the tent, it was really cozy and warm. All in all this will be a magical night we won’t forget!” – Maja
