Zermatt is located at 1,600 meters and is car-free. Every delivery is reloaded onto a train or electric vehicles in Täsch. This is not a minor detail; it is the first point of any planning, and it costs time and money.
Reloading means: smaller units
The electric vehicles in the village are small, and their loading areas are limited. Bulky items in one piece are difficult; disassemblable furniture is significantly easier. If you are planning a larger furnishing, you should consider the delivery in several shipments and coordinate the date early with the local transporter.
Wood on wood needs contrast
In a chalet, the walls, ceiling, and floor are made of wood. Additional wooden furniture would disappear within it. What structures the room are other materials: leather, stone, brass, and textiles. Rugs are almost mandatory in chalets, as they absorb the echo from the wooden surfaces.
High altitude air is very dry
At 1,600 meters and with a fireplace, humidity levels drop significantly in winter. Solid wood works heavily, and wicker becomes brittle. Veneer, stone, and leather are the durable materials in this environment. And as everywhere in Switzerland, customs duties and import taxes are added to the freight.
