YOUR VACATION APARTMENT IN ZERMATT: WITH A DREAM VIEW OF THE MATTERHORNHouse Gloria, built on the sunny side of the slope, at an altitude of 1700 m, in the south of the Winkelmatten district of Zermatt. Each of the two vacation apartments offers an almost unobstructed and fantastic view of the Matterhorn. Winkelmatten used to be a small independent hamlet, an old rural summer residence, but when Zermatt expanded in the course of the 19th and 20th centuries, it was incorporated. The Winkelmatten chapel “Zur Heiligen Familie” is worthy of note and is the subject of a little legend. The village church, which today stands in Zermatt, was originally supposed to be built in Winkelmatten. However, on the day before construction was due to start, the people of Zermatt brought the tools to the center of Zermatt and sold this to the people of Winkelmatten as a divine sign. Later, however, a chapel was built in Winkelmattten, which could also be interpreted as reparation. |
