Designed by renowned architect Magali de Tscharner, Chalet Maurice revels in its use of local materials; a combination of stone and stripped timber combined with vast picture windows and copious walls of glazing to maximise the panoramas. Natural fabrics and elegant lines and open spaces abound to create a truly marvellous alpine retreat. A spacious open plan living and dining room is perfect for entertaining and relaxing in stylish comfortable surrounds. The high tech kitchen has everything any gourmand could wish for to create culinary success.
Large south-facing balconies on each floor add another level of visual wonder to your stay. Each spot is a sunbathing haven, and the private outdoor hot tub is the perfect way to soak away aching limbs as you marvel at the splendour of nature at its best right in front of you or unwind in the wellness area and steam away. With staff on hand to ensure your ski holiday is as hassle-free as it gets (two managers, a personal chef 6 nights a week and a housekeeper) you can even choose alfresco dining with a charcoal grill. A very impressive home theatre, TV, DVD player, iPod dock and WiFi guarantees the very best in chill-out time.
Chalet Maurice caters for up to 12 in 6 large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms spread over three floors with five out of the six bedrooms boasting direct Matterhorn views. The master suite spreads over the entire top floor and features an open fireplace, double-height pitched ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows. Dedicated staff provide outstanding service from daily cooked breakfasts your personal chef rustles up to freshly baked afternoon tea, tasty canapés and champagne apres ski, before quaffing a 4-course lavish gourmet concoction. Remember chef cooks the kids supper too, leaving the adults time to create a different evening pace.
After a hard day on the slopes, you can pick your pampering and wellbeing – alternate between the steam room and sauna, enjoy a heavenly massage or soak at the night ambience under the stars in a blissful hot tub under the eves. A ski room with warmers ensures ski gear is toasty dry for the next day, and your personal chauffeur can whisk you around if your ski legs go on strike. Wheelchair and child friendly, Chalet Maurice is a magnet for families and corporate getaways seeking a dream mountain ski experience in one of the finest luxury chalets in Zermatt.
