Chalet Elbrus
The secret peak of luxury at Zermatt
Seven chalets make up the Seven Heavens collection, set along the river very close to the Sunnegga lift. The Elbrus, with its 4 floors and “modest” surface area of 565 m2, is not the largest among them! This supremely elegant place with amenities of the rarest quality, has an alpine style all its own
Its interior design was awarded to the Comina interior design firm from the Valais. Their goal? Place Elbrus squarely in the 21st century, while giving room for the resort‘s resolutely mountainous spirit to breathe through its rooms and décor. The result? More wood, striking images of mountains and bears, shaggy cushions, hangers engraved with the profile of the Matterhorn, cuddly reindeers in the children‘s bedroom, etc.
In the chalet‘s entrance, set between the ski room and the professionally equipped kitchen, an elevator leads to the first and second floors. Here, every detail exudes comfort, from the mattresses with their multitude of pillows, to the thick towels and fabrics, to the (faux) furs draped over languid chaise longues on private balconies.
On the upper level, the silky parquet matches the master pillars of the large living room, centred around a contemporary fireplace roaring in its glass cage. Its foundation? A single slab of unfinished stone. On the wall, a grandiose black and white impression of the incomparable Matterhorn appears to weigh up two large mountain silhouettes, one photographic, and the other a simple electrocardiographic line. These hang the length of the large table around which the chalet‘s residents gather at meal times, under a graceful luminous sky. Its counterpoint: a panoramic terrace from which to better take in the cool evening air and starry skies.
Contrast. In the spa lies the pièce de résistance: a giant Jacuzzi set on anthracite, and an adorable sauna enclosed in glass. There, the third floor truly reaches up to the seventh heaven.
