22 Summits Apartments

“Great location for skiing families”

We booked a last minute, first time trip to Zermatt, for Christmas holidays, for our family of 2 adults, 3 young children. We were delighted to stay here and wonderfully surprised. There is a hotel in front and apartment/hotel (i think previously called casa Vanessa) in back. We stayed in the 22 Summits Apartments in a first floor 2 bedroom overlooking zermatt. The location is fantastic for skiing. We had a great view of zermatt. The terraces were nice. We were a five minute walk from the apartment to the Matterhorn glacier express gondola to Furi (on western end of zermatt) which was ideal for us. You could also take the city bus from there or the taxi stand to go to zermatt station or sunegga funicular (about 15 min walk otherwise). If you stay in the center of town, it’s actually harder to get to the lifts we thought or you need to taxi (and usually queue to get a taxi). The apartments are clean and modern. Looks like it was renovated recently. Kitchen had the basics and allowed us to make many fun family Meals. Highly recommend

would highly recommend staying here as a family. We enjoyed an excellent week of skiing. walk to base of Furi gondola is easy and quick. Walk into the core of the village of Zermatt is also very pleasant. Apartment was clean, efficient and comfortable. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen/dining/living room area. For a family of four this was perfect. Breakfast is served in the common area. Beds, sheets, towels, etc are all high quality and apartment is serviced every day. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Owner family is present and it seems everyone is engaged and happy to be helping out. Bar and lobby of 22 Summits hotel is a nice extra if you want to have a mid-afternoon hot chocolate or tea or have a drink at the bar.

“Escaping the touristy hell of the central Zermatt”

The hotel located at the west side of the town and it is quite and less touristy unlike center district which is totally spoiled I'd say. Here you can really enjoy the nature in a quite outdoor restaurant overlooking Matterhorn. Whenever we need to go grocery, I felt like being forced to do so, whe… more

The hotel located at the west side of the town and it is quite and less touristy unlike center district which is totally spoiled I'd say. Here you can really enjoy the nature in a quite outdoor restaurant overlooking Matterhorn. Whenever we need to go grocery, I felt like being forced to do so, where streets are overcrowded with tourists and souvenir shops, much like any other overrated place. We were buying food and running away looking for shelter. Cyclists doing 60 km/h through crowded streets, electric taxis on every corner, carmageddon...Not sure who is deadlier, but they approaching suddenly, silently, without breaking, you have to save yourself and kids. The mythical town without transport is a myth, indeed. Unless, you got to the western part and here you'll catch your solitude at late sunset. Now about the hotel: We had two-bedroom apartment no 440, two balconies, two showers, jacuzzi, modern and very convenient kitchen with all appliances. The Matterhorn could be directly seen with all its glory from the second floor roof-window and a bit from the small balcony. There is really nothing negative about the apartment, except for jacuzzi operation. some instructions would not bother. It seem to stream only hot water, regardless faucet direction and there is a leakage somewhere, each morning we had discovered small puddle on the floor between the shower and jacuzzi, not sure where it is leaking.

“Gorgeous views and well-appointed apartments!”

We stayed here for 3 nights to explore the Matterhorn in a lovely 2-bedroom - Apt 31. The apartment was well-appointed.

We stayed here for 3 nights to explore the Matterhorn in a lovely 2-bedroom - Apt 31. The apartment was well-appointed. It would have been nice to have instant coffee packs in the room and perhaps a small thing of cooking oil. They need to have some other bathroom items - like shampoo and conditioner (not an all-in-one nasty soap cream), but otherwise the room was lovely and serviced daily. There was also no way to control the temperature of the apartment - it was HOT! The breakfast was AMAZING! Have the croissants - have many of them! It was a lovely breakfast with great variety and a lovely staff. The spa needed a hotter jacuzzi. The water was best described as "tepid" and would have been so much better after a day of hiking if it had been at least a bit warmer. It is also not open til 4pm - which seems strange. It would have been great if the room was cooler and the jacuzzi was hotter (I know - I sound like Goldilocks!)
