This flat is absolutely perfect and located in a fantastic village nestled within the Swiss Alps. The apartment was very clean, spacious and comfortable. It had a very modern feel and was in excellent condition. The bedrooms were large, the bathrooms were luxurious and the kitchen was well equipped. It came with underground parking which was very convenient. The apartment is ideally located within Zinal and in a very quiet spot. It is on the top two floors of the apartment block and so has stunning views of the surrounding peaks. We visited in the summer with a young family to do some summer hiking. Zinal is perfect for walkers - you can go on walks in every direction straight from the apartment. Locally we hiked to the copper mine (an hour and a half away and joined a weekly tour), and made it to our first mountain hut (a couple of hours away). We also took the village cable car (located just a few minutes away from the property) for more walking and to view the paragliders out in force at the weekend - a stunning site with the ice-capped mountain backdrop. We also spotted the Matterhorn. A short drive away we hiked to a glacial lake and glacier, and also caught a funicular to start a hike to a walk-in only hotel, the Weisshorn. The walks were all varied and fantastic and achievable with a 7, 10 and 12 year old. The village itself had all the amenities you would need and is found at the top of a long stunning valley, so you avoid through-traffic. It also has a wonderful 'old' part with original and ancient chalets, as well as a helpful tourist office. I would highly recommend this property and village - the mountains, the views, the hiking and the flat were all absolutely perfect. We are already planning to return.
