You step out and smell the fresh alpine air. Just one, two steps and you have arrived in the cozy entrance hall styled like a big alpine living room. Gold glimmering fir wood on the walls, the warmth of the fireplace surrounds you and the gentle sound of wood crackling resounds in your ears. It smells of fresh alpine flowers. Lost in thought, you will recognize the perfectly reconstructed ancient treasures and artful decorated furniture. Skis from 1921 and older-and is an old child cradle filled with newspapers from all over the world. Endless unique details and although, they all blend together.

You wake up with astonishment from your daydream and notice that in reality you have already arrived in a fairytale world. You will be warmly welcomed. It is always charming to be back. In the beloved Valais and in the small and fine Hotel Chesa Valese.

Our rooms for you

Authentic alpine chic combined with all the conveniences of the modern world awaits you. When we completely renovated the rooms in 2015, we were keen to use local materials, and warm elements such as oak wood were skilfully combined with cool slate. The entire furnishings of course conform to today’s standards of comfort, and every room has luxurious box-spring beds, a well-designed lighting system, flat-screen cable TV, Internet and Wi-Fi. The rooms have cosy sitting areas with tea and coffee making facilities.

Wellness & Spa

The icing on the cake of your stay at the Chesa Valese is the small but well-equipped spa, providing yet another way to unwind. Leave your cares behind you and enjoy some soothing rest and relaxation, whether in the jacuzzi, steam bath, sauna, multi-sensory shower or solarium. It’s a good place to recharge your batteries so that you’re fit and ready to experience the magic of Zermatt.

Hotel Chesa Valese in Zermatt - Since 1959

The Valais house, the Chesa Valese, built in 1959 by my father and since then successfully run by the Julen family! In 1997, I took over the leadership of the Chesa from my parents.

The family values of the house are kept unchanged by me. Therefore, the Chesa remained the meeting place of the whole family Julen. The family has a strong connection with tourism since many years. Thus, my brothers and sister work in various forms as entrepreneurs and hotel directors and have remained loyal to tourism.

The Hotel Chesa Valese in Zermatt is a classified 4 star hotel according to Hotelleriesuisse, the business association of the Swiss hotel industry. The hotel is located in the district Steinmatte and has 23 rooms, 50 beds as well as a breakfast hall, a bar area and a wellness oasis. The hotel has 4 floors with hotel rooms. The ground floor includes the reception, bar, library room and the breakfast room. In the basement there is the ski room and the wellness oasis. This includes a Finnish sauna, a steam bath, two Jacuzzis, a solarium, a relaxation room and an outdoor area.

The Valais style house has a lot of charm and history. Guests at the Hotel Chesa Valese will experience how true Valais hospitality feels like. The house is deliberately decorated in natural materials and warm colors, because this corresponds to the Valais style. Local products are also a matter of the heart. The individual and personal service provided by the experienced Chesa Valese team ensures that every guest – whether new to the hotel or a regular visitor, on a family holiday or alone, whether a sports enthusiast or a partygoer – feels at home here.

We are looking forward to your visit.
