Penthouse Carmen – Zermatt
Penthouse Carmen is a charming duplex attic apartment perched above Zermatt, offering a warm and inviting mountain retreat with an authentic Alpine feel. Set within Casa Vanessa, this cosy penthouse combines traditional farmhouse character with practical access to both the slopes and the village centre. Sloping wooden ceilings, rich timber panelling and a crackling wood-burning fireplace give the apartment a wonderfully homely atmosphere, while the open-plan living spaces are designed for easy, sociable stays with family or friends.
Sleeping up to eight guests across four bedrooms, the chalet apartment also benefits from sunny south and east-facing balconies with views down towards the river and surrounding mountains. With access to a shared wellness area during the winter season and the Matterhorn Express lift station just moments away, Penthouse Carmen is relaxed, comfortable and perfectly placed for a Zermatt ski escape.
Our team of ski specialists are here to help plan your holiday.
