Zermatt is located at 1,600 meters and is car-free. Every delivery is transferred to the train or electric vehicles in Täsch. This is not a detail; it is the first point of every planning, and it costs time and money.
Transshipment 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 loads and coordinate the date early with the local transporter.
Wood on wood needs contrast
In a chalet, walls, ceiling, and floor are made of wood. Additional wooden furniture disappears within it. What structures the room are other materials: leather, stone, brass, and textile. 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 drops significantly in winter. Solid wood works strongly, and wicker becomes brittle. Veneer, stone, and leather are the durable materials in this environment. And as everywhere in Switzerland, customs and import taxes are added to the freight.
Shipping to Zermatt

Freight forwarding goods are delivered curbside. This means: to the curb in front of the address, not into the apartment and not into the installation room. If you need delivery to an upper floor, please arrange it locally; this page explains what to consider.
Import: Switzerland is outside the EU. In addition to shipping costs, customs duties and import VAT, which are borne by the recipient, apply. With preparation, this extends delivery by a few days.
