Hotel Chesa Valese, Zermatt
A cosy family-run chalet with easy lift access.
Hotel Chesa Valese is a cozy, family-run chalet with easy lift access and the warmth of a mountain home. It is simple, welcoming and full of alpine character.
A warm, simple chalet stay when the mountain is the main event.
Where you’ll be
The chalet is in a quieter part of Zermatt, a short walk from the lifts and the village center. In summer, hiking trails lead out from the village toward the Five Lakes Walk and beyond.
The stay
Rooms are traditionally styled with wood and alpine fabrics, and the welcome is personal, with the family who runs it never far away. It is a comfortable, peaceful base to return to after a day outdoors.
