Accommodation

We provide season-long accommodation options for your time in Zermatt that may vary between seasons. In recent years our interns have stayed in an upmarket apartment building a short walk from Zermatt town centre and a more cost effective hotel a short ride from the mountain. The accommodation in town is generally new and is very comfortable, well located, and costs approx. 800-1200CHF per month depending on final program numbers. Please note, quoted rates and location are based on previous seasons and are subject to change. We always endeavour to provide an option where the cost of the accommodation is relative to its quality and location, so you have a fantastic season and feel comfortable throughout.

*The above is an indicative based on last season and is subject to change based on availability and updates to pricing
