Chalet
Please note that this property is exclusively owned and managed by ourselves, Mountain Exposure. Any other listing for this property on this website is by an agency. Chalet Pollux is a luxurious freestanding three storey independent chalet with 4 bedrooms, large enough for groups or families of eight. All the beds can be configured as doubles or twins. Its location provides the best of both worlds: spectacular views and easy access. Side by side, tucked against a beautiful hillside, the numerous balconies and large terraces give you bird's eye views of the village and the surrounding mountains, encompassing all three of Zermatt's ski areas. Yet access is easy: 200m from the Matterhorn Express base lift station and resort run there is a street level tunnel which leads you to a lift (eleva...Please note that this property is exclusively owned and managed by ourselves, Mountain Exposure.

Side by side, tucked against a beautiful hillside, the numerous balconies and large terraces give you bird's eye views of the village and the surrounding mountains, encompassing all three of Zermatt's ski areas. Yet access is easy: 200m from the Matterhorn Express base lift station and resort run there is a street level tunnel which leads you to a lift (elevator) built inside the mountain, from the top of which there is a gentle 2 minute walk to the property. Skis and boots can be left in the tunnel's ski-room. The chalet is bathed in sun as soon as it emerges. Chalet Castor is immediately adjacent to Chalet Pollux which is its mirror image and also sleeps 8. Castor is part of our chalet group called Les Perles. These four chalets can be combined and depending on the size of the group will host up to 16, 18, 24, 26 or 34 guests. This chalet has been tastefully decorated under the supervision of Mountain Exposure, delicately combining an alpine, cosy and contemporary finish, with liberal use of wood and stone. It has all the latest technology with flat-screen TVs, more than a hundred satellite channels, a fireplace and geothermal heating to reduce the chalet's carbon foot-print as much as possible. The chalet enjoys the use of its own unique private outdoor hot-tub surrounded by snow (in the winter), perfect to relax and enjoy the view (or the stars) after a long day in the mountains. Shared laundry room with washing machine and clothes dryer available. Chalet Castor can be rented with or without Chalet staff. Included in all our prices the Mountain Exposure concierge services: - ARRIVAL: meeting you on arrival for your chalet holiday - TRANSFERS: arranging airport pick ups by taxi, minibus or helicopter and advising on other travel arrangements - RESORT CARE: daily chalet visits (unless you specify otherwise) to provide advice and useful tips, and a duty manager available at all times during your ski holiday - SKI RENTAL: assisting you in obtaining ski rental - LIFT PASSES: having your lift passes ready for you in advance - SKI SCHOOLS/GUIDES: advance booking of ski schools and mountain guides - RESTAURANTS: arranging all your mountain restaurant bookings (these can be essential) - CHILD CARE: making all necessary arrangements to provide you with quality child care (nannies, babysitters, crèche services) AND MUCH MORE: We aim to offer a service tailored to all your wishes and would be glad to assist with any matter relating to your holiday.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Excellent first time experience in Zermatt
This was our first time visiting Zermatt for skiing, and if I were to return, I would only book through Mountain Exposure. Their selection of properties is excellent, and they take care of your every need. Castor is a beautiful chalet perched on the hillside with lovely views. Since we were not familiar with the area, our entire group agreed that we completely lucked out with the PERFECT location to walk to the gondola for skiing and into town for dinner and shopping. (You can also see the gondola line from the balcony and keep an eye on when it is getting too long.) There is also a bus stop right next door. There is a very convenient boot/ski room on the ground floor of the complex where you can leave skis at the end of the day and store your boots on a heated boot warmer for pickup the next morning (wonderful!) so there is no need to carry everything up to the chalet each day and no worries about having to store a lot of equipment in the home. The chalet has a 4 person hot tub for relaxing in the evening, an easy to use wood burning fireplace, an amazing well stocked kitchen (with separate wine fridge) and balconies on each floor. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious, and it was ideal to have a separate bath for each bedroom. Our group of 6 adults fit very comfortably in the chalet, and enjoyed spending time together in the open living/dining/kitchen area. The outdoor grill was idea for making dinner at home and we found ourselves doing a lot of cooking. The only slight inconvenience was the walk up to the chalet - you take an elevator and then have about a 2-3 minute walk up a path and a couple sets of stairs, so it would not be ideal for those who have a hard time getting around. I assume this is the case with any of the homes located up the mountain, and we thought it more than paid for itself with the beautiful views and the bit of added exercise. Our Mountain Exposure representative, Konsta, was available to answer all of our questions and made getting to and from the chalet a breeze. A taxi was waiting for us at the train station and was arranged for pickup. Konsta also helped with dinner/bar recommendations, lining up massages, advising on where to obtain covid testing and getting groceries. He was incredibly responsive and made the experience so much easier to navigate.

Perfect stay
I booked the chalet for our executive team who enjoyed every minute of their stay- perfect location close to the town centre and all the amenities yet secluded enough for a prefect rest. The concierge team is a bunch of highly knowledgeable and attentive professionals who was always on a standby and made things run so much smoother. Would definitely book again.

Superbe chalet bien situé
Très beau chalet avec Jacuzzi. Très bien équipé cuisine, lits et chaises pour bébé mis à disposition. Très belle vue et prix attractif hors saison. L’emplacement est très proche des remontées mécanique et au début des tours de marche. La prise en charge des bagages et notre déplacement depuis la gare de Zermatt étaient top.

Perfect ski chalet!
Our family of 6 truly couldn't have had a better stay at Chalet Castor. Location was perfect, views were incredible, house was spacious, hot tub was major bonus after long ski days, concierge was beyond helpful. Would no question recommend, and dreaming of going back already!

Great accommodation and wonderful location
Spent a wonderful week at Chalet Castor, nestled up tight against the mountainside in the picture perfect town of Zermatt, which plays host to all manner of niche and multinational shops, bars, restaurants and activity centres. Provided exactly what we wanted in terms of space, luxury, location and helpful staff from Mountain Exposure - shoutout to Tanya! Would return in a heartbeat.

Chalet Pollux is part of four triplex freestanding chalets, located within 10 metres of each other making them a perfect retreat for a larger group of up to 34 guests (they offer a total of 17 double bedrooms). The village Zermatt, lies at the foot of the Matterhorn, the most photographed mountain in the world. Zermatt epitomizes the image of Switzerland: high-alpine, awe-inspiring and original.

Restaurants and Spas are world-class, the ski and hiking area ensuring thrilling sporting experiences 365 days a year. The climate is of an excellent quality: with 300 sunny days a year.
