Double O Heaven

The first clue comes as you enter the tunnel, lit with torches, like the entrance to a secret underground lair, when you reach the end, you enter a lift, a few moments later, voila! the doors silently slide open to reveal a stunning interior and a warm welcome from your chalet staff with a celebratory champagne reception. 

You’ll feel like you've just stepped into a film set, Zermatt Peak could be the location for a James Bond movie and for a week or two your are the main leads. Make no mistake, this place is unique and unlike anything you’ll find anywhere in the Alps, it’s Manhattan meets Paris, except for the unmistakable view of the Matterhorn through the huge glazed walls. No doubt about it, you’re in Zermatt but you’d never know if you had to guess from the interiors alone.

A chalet conceived for superstars
You are going to love being in this environment, guaranteed to make you feel that much taller, a little prouder, almost gleeful with excitement. Special interiors are good for the soul and Zermatt Peak is special. Arguably the finest premium luxury chalet to grace the glamorous resort of Zermatt. Discretion stops me from naming the famous French millionaire footballer who stayed here and declared it the best place he’d ever rented.

Custom made lasting memories
You’ll never forget you stayed here, the experience will live with you forever. The phrase “the wow factor” was coined for places like this. The stunning panoramic views across the whole of Zermatt and the surrounding mountain ranges as well as uninterrupted views of the iconic Matterhorn are worth the admission money alone but there are many more features that will surprise and delight you. I think “Q” must have had a team of technicians in here fitting the place out with wonderful gadgets. Zermatt Peak boasts a wellness area and gym that could lay claim to being the most impressive set up of its kind in the Alps. The custom made jacuzzi is the center piece and it really is something special. In or out, the glass panels directly ahead can be kept closed or slide open as the jacuzzi stretches from inside the wellness out onto the external terrace, making the most of that view again. The Peak is situated in a prominent position, high up, overlooking the village making you feel like the owner of all you survey. 

State-of-the-art relaxation
In the fabulous Jacuzzi you can relax and unwind with a choice of a steam bath or a sauna complete with light fittings that give the impression of gazing at the stars. A masseuse will of course be on hand to ease the fatigue of muscles exerted by an exhilarating day on the slopes. Some peoples idea of recharging the batteries is a good session in the gym, so for the more active guest, a fully-equipped gym is available with the latest cardiovascular cross trainer, cycle, vibration plate and free weights. Or simply do nothing and just enjoy being and making the most of this fabulous accommodation. You half expect Miss Moneypenny to pop her head round the corner and ask, “is everything to your satisfaction, Mr Bond”?

The highest level of service is to be expected in a chalet of this calibre. You will experience standards surpassing that of the best 5* hotels with carefully selected, highly trained professional staff. A Chalet Concierge, Chalet Manager, Host/Hostess, Experienced Chef, Butler, Chauffeur and a Housekeeper will all be on hand to make sure your every need is attended too. You really won’t need to lift a finger, you’re totally free to kick back and relax.

The charming car free village of Zermatt is within easy reach and should you want to venture out to soak up the vibe, you will be in the heart of it, in no time at all. The ski lifts are close by so you won’t waste too much time getting to the pistes.

There are B&O cinema TV screens of varying sizes located in the lounge, library and all the bedrooms, which all have access to an extensive digital DVD library as well as Sky, internet and cable TV. Children and adult guests can make use of the latest games consoles and the music system with iPod and iPhone connections. Alternatively you can sit with friends and family around the roaring log fire in the open-fireplace, a must for the Alpine ski-ing experience. For those who wish to enjoy some quiet time, there is a separate library/study.

Your personal chef will be on hand to create and serve a mixture of international cuisine. You will be able to watch him cook in the open-plan kitchen using the finest ingredients whilst being served by your personal chalet staff. Breakfast, afternoon tea and full gourmet dinners are on offer to suit all tastes. Al-fresco dining and an external kitchen on the terrace is also available for those lovers of the outdoor air. If you stumble across Blofeld, sitting on the terrace, stroking his cat, ignore him, he’s harmless.
