Arctis - Wohnung Lea

Mario is an amazing host! The apartments are renovated, with new kitchenware, and you have everything you need! And the view is incredible—the magnificent Matterhorn from the balcony!

Friendly, accessible owner right upstairs! Clean, quiet, easy check-in/check-out, close to town center, close to the gondola (bit of a walk but we had no problems). Laundry on site (shared, coin-op — would have loved a heads-up on that!). TV has HDMI hookup so you can bring an AppleTV/Roku/etc and watch Netflix/Amazon Video/etc (otherwise you’re watching Swiss TV, tough for non-German speakers). For groceries, download the Coop grocery store app and get them delivered in advance (even the ice cream was still frozen 12 hours later when we arrived)! If you plan to eat at home a lot, don’t buy a ton — small European fridge/freezer, so expect to make a few grocery trips or delivery/pickup orders, and consider bringing your own grocery bags to re-use!

Not a gripe but would have liked to know that the laundry was coin-op so we could get some coins. Also not a gripe but there is no ice maker or ice cube trays (and you can’t buy ice at the grocery — not unusual apparently in Zermatt but not what we were used to). Bring/buy paper towels and bath soap (and shampoo/conditioner). TV room is the one red sectional couch in the photo which worked great for our tight-knit crew of 4 adults and 3 kids all happy to sit close, but prepare to get cozy!
