A stylish fully-equipped kitchen sits separate to the lounge and dining room, which can be closed off or left open to the space. The colossal windows bestow the room with light, beautiful views of Monte Cervino (the Matterhorn) and the mountain landscape, and access to a covered balcony. In addition to the covered balcony, outside there is a terrace with a fire-pit and a small chalet garden, which leads out onto the pistes that you ski in and out to. Further living areas can be found in the form of a mezzanine lounge space above the main room, with a private bar, seating area and selection of card and board games, and a reading nook on the top floor with a window framing the iconic Matterhorn peak to keep you company.
