About this property

Renovated Classic 1803 Chalet

One of the oldest buildings in Zinal, Les Violettes is a authentic two-bedroom chalet built in 1803. Completely renovated in 2017, the interior was modernized and equipped with the latest technology while the essence of the 1803 chalet remains intact. The chalet offers majestic views of the mountains and benefits from its unique location in the center of the village steps away from the cable car, grocery stores, restaurants serving local specialties, and a pool and spa.

The living room is spacious and furnished with a classically Swiss touch. The original walls have been preserved and the room features the stone stove that heated the chalet in the 1800s. Today, under floor heating provides a comfortable and consistent temperature. A modern sofa mixes with furniture and souvenirs from earlier times. Two sunny balconies are accessible from the living room and provide views of the mountain summits.

The kitchen has everything you need to make your stay tasty. It is fully equipped with an induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine and toaster. Fondue pots, raclette and charbonnade grills are also included. A bar made out of old wood and a dining table and chairs completes the kitchen space.

The bathroom features a rain shower, towel warmer and hair dryer. The bedrooms are well lit with windows that showcase the Swiss Alps. Towels, sheets, duvets and pillows are provided.

Other chalet amenities include a flat screen HD Smart television, high speed Internet, Bluetooth wireless Denon speakers, a washer and dryer and on-site parking.

Fantastic Chalet in center of Zinal!

I never write reviews but am doing so because this place is such a remarkable place. Owners gave thought to every detail. The Chalet is absolutely beautiful and we just loved everything about it. Owners gave very clear instructions about everything beforehand and in their manual and had all the right supplies for cooking, cleaning etc. Free passes for cable car and other transportation are in the folder. Great washer and dryer. Music speaker system with app to phone. Very spacious chalet, bigger and better than the pictures. Two balconies. Great wooden picnic table out back with yard. Wonderful wood floors and furnishings throughout. Kitchen is also great with 4 seat dining table and two seat tall chair bar to serve guests if you have friends over for dinner (which we did). I can’t thank them enough for the attention to detail and beautifully refurbished Chalet. Parking and location so convenient as well. This stay has been the highlight of our trip so far and we feel so lucky to have found this place. Wow, what a great find! Richard, Miguelina and Marielle.

Wunderschönes und gemütliches Chalet im Zentrum

Neu renoviertes und mit viel Liebe eingerichtes Chalet mitten in Zinal in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Liftstation und zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Die Wohnung liegt im Obergeschoß und hat einen eigenen Eingang, im EG befindet sich die Ferienwohnung der sehr netten Vermieter. Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht und war sehr sauber. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub und kommen sicherlich wieder.

About the host

Host profile image
Philippe grew up in the Swiss Alps where our listing is located. The chalet has been in his family since it was constructed in 1803. Laura hails from Boston, Massachusetts. We can't wait to share our lovely home with you and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Zinal is a traditional village in the Val d'Anniviers at an altitude of 1675 meters. It is at the feet of five Alpine peaks that tower above 4000 meters aka "the Imperial Crown". Zinal is a sports paradise in winter and summer; an amazing location for fans of the outdoors. In 2016, CNN named Zinal Europe’s best-kept secret ski resort. National ski teams from Switzerland, France, Italy, Germany, Austria and the US hold training camps in Zinal to take advantage of the ski area which boasts more than 120 kilometers of slopes in the middle of one of the most beautiful breathtaking panorama in the Alps.

Zinal is also a sports paradise in the summer. There are more than 300 kilometers of marked trails with many mountain huts to discover. It is a stage on the tour around the Matterhorn and a stop of "the Haute Route" that links Zermatt to Chamonix. In August, Zinal is the finish line of one of the best trail races in the world which links Sierre to Zinal - over 31 kilometers, ascending 2200m. Mountain biking is also very popular.

Zinal is a hidden gem. We would be delighted to have you discover it by staying with us. We need to warn you though: once you come to Zinal you are likely to fall in love with it and the rest of the Val d'Anniviers and come back again and again....

What makes this property unique

The chalet was constructed in 1803 and is one of the first chalets built in the village. It originally only had one room which was only used in the summer. A second floor was added in 1896. The chalet still contains antiques that date to that period including a stone stove that dates from 1876.
