With its prime central location, stunning Matterhorn views, and access to shared wellness facilities, it offers the perfect alpine retreat for families or friends.

The Whymper Residence welcomes guests into a large and bright, open-plan living space featuring plush and modern furnishings. Two comfortable sofa areas have been thoughtfully designed to encourage relaxation and a convivial atmosphere. One has been carefully positioned to maximise the warmth from the fireplace, whilst the other sits in next to the TV for casual viewing. On the opposite side, a dining area has a spacious wooden table is perfectly suited for shared meals and lively gatherings. It seamlessly connects to the fully-equipped kitchen, which features a convenient breakfast bar and stools, with all the essentials for preparing meal preparations. Following mealtimes, step out onto The Whymper Residence's south-facing balcony, accessed via the main living area, to finish the night in view of the iconic Matterhorn.

Back inside the property, The Whymper Residence's elegant TV lounge allows guests to catch up on their latest series or host unforgettable movie nights as a whole family. Equipped with cosy sofas, this room can be closed off from the rest of the apartment for viewing in privacy.
