Top Tips for Renting an Apartment in Zermatt
Self-catering apartments and chalets are a great accommodation option in Switzerland. Two benefits they offer are additional space and the option to prepare your own meals.
Renting an apartment is also a fantastic way to really live like a local. In smaller towns and villages like Zermatt, chances are you’ll see the same locals at the bakery each morning, or at the supermarket buying their daily supplies.
The option to prepare your own meals can provide big savings, and it’s also good to have the choice to stay in the comfort of your own apartment for meals after a long day on the slopes or a big day of sightseeing.
When choosing your apartment in Zermatt, make a quick checklist of your top requirements to ensure you choose the right apartment for your stay.
If you are visiting during the winter months, chances are you’ll need an apartment that is close to the ski lifts and heating will be a top priority, too. Christmas and New Year are extremely busy times, so book your Zermatt apartment well ahead to secure your first choice.
