Moving to Zermatt

Thanks all, I am starting to get really excited now :)

SwingBeep, you answered at least 3 of my questions straight out there, u have been quoted for removals to Zermatt and it's not cheap :shock: whereabouts are you located?

Lined up for some viewings next weekend, gonna take the missus down for her first look at Switzerland, nevermind Zermatt.

Been 35+ degrees C here for weeks, however all I can think of is snow, sliding and starting a new job. Need to get the logistics done however and that is tiresome. I an corressponding in 3 languages, English, French and German.

Good weekend all, it's 2pm here and I'm in court writing this :( Witness not defendant. The sub is out and I wanna go drink beer.

I live down in the Rhone valley.

Zermatt certainly isn't cheap especially accommodation, for the price of a 2 bedroomed flat in Zermatt you could buy large detached house almost anywhere else in the region.

One thing that might not go down well with Mrs Tino is that lots of Swiss apartments aren't equipped with a washing machine or the plumbing to install one. There is often a communal laundry room on the ground floor the "Waschküche" that is shared by all the residents in the block. There is usually a timetable on the wall detailing when you can do your washing which may be half a day per week or perhaps a full day once a fortnight. Don't even think about washing on a Sunday! This is sometimes a deal breaker, tread carefully.

Dont worry Tino, Alison loves cleaning and washing ;-)

Tino, did you choose a place in Zermatt, yet?

Washing and ironing once a fortnight sounds good to me...You might need to get yourself a big laundry basket though and of course Mrs T (to be) will need to buy more clothes! :wink: :lol:

Yep, just having a pint and filling in the paperwork as we "speak". :wink:

2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, beautiful fitted kitchen, living room with terrace for sun in the afternoon and evening, garden, 2 years old, 100m2. 4 minutes walk to lift station, unobstructed view of the Matterhorn, 20% cheaper than advertised, heated ski boot rack in ski room, no washing restrictions and the missus likes it too!!

Been smiling since my offer was accepted last night.

You are buying?
The spec is terrific, but the view of the Matterhorn is a deal clincher.
Well played.

No, not buying yet, I haggled on the rent :) always worth a shot!

The view is stunning, can't wait to sit with a beer in my living room completley enthralled by the microclimate at the summit, whilst the future Mrs T cooks my dinner ;) only joking, she can't cook.
