At Studio Castor, we believe in genuine hospitality and sustainable tourism that creates long-term value for our guests, the local community, and the exceptional natural environment that surrounds us.

Our Motto
Arrive, relax, and feel at home.
To help you settle in comfortably, a small selection of essential items is provided upon your arrival. For personal shopping and any special requirements, we kindly ask you to make your own arrangements according to your preferences.
Our wish is that you feel at home from the very first moment and can begin your holiday in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Zermatt: A True Mountain Village
Zermatt lies at an altitude of approximately 1,600 to 1,700 metres above sea level.
In the Alps, weather conditions can change rapidly. Snowfall is possible at any time between September and April. We therefore recommend checking the weather forecast before travelling and bringing clothing and footwear suitable for mountain conditions.
Arriving in sandals may be perfect on a sunny summer day, but a sudden change in weather can quickly transform the landscape and temperatures.
A Natural Paradise, Not an Amusement Park
Zermatt combines spectacular Alpine scenery with modern tourism infrastructure, outstanding gastronomy, and excellent shopping opportunities.
However, it is important to remember:
Zermatt is a natural paradise, not an amusement park.
You will not find escalators on hiking trails, lifts to mountain summits, or artificially created Alpine landscapes. The mountains are authentic, unspoiled, and at times challenging. That is exactly what makes them so special.
We kindly ask you to respect nature and leave no litter behind. Waste disposal bins can be found throughout Zermatt. By helping to keep the mountains clean, you contribute to preserving this unique environment for future generations.
Fresh Mountain Water
Unless otherwise stated, Zermatt’s water comes directly from the surrounding mountains.
Tap water and water from public fountains are of excellent drinking quality. We encourage you to refill your bottle rather than purchasing bottled water whenever possible. This simple choice helps reduce unnecessary plastic waste and supports a more sustainable future.
Sustainability Starts with Small Actions
We appreciate your support in helping us to:
- use water responsibly;
- conserve energy;
- sort and dispose of waste correctly;
- respect nature and hiking trails;
- show consideration for local residents and fellow visitors.
Many small actions together can make a big difference.
Our Philosophy
For us, success is not measured by the number of visitors, but by the quality of the experiences they take home.
For more than 150 years, Zermatt has developed through responsible tourism that continues to contribute to the village’s exceptional quality of life. We believe that a memorable stay is created not only by breathtaking scenery but also through respect for local culture, traditions, and nature.
Located in the peaceful and traditional district of Winkelmatten, Studio Castor offers an authentic and relaxing side of Zermatt. Surrounded by beautiful Alpine scenery and only a short distance from hiking trails, mountain railways, restaurants, and the village centre, it is the perfect place to enjoy the mountains and discover the unique lifestyle of the Valais region.
Whether you visit for hiking, skiing, mountaineering, or simply to unwind in the fresh mountain air, Studio Castor provides a comfortable and welcoming home away from home at the foot of the Matterhorn.
We especially appreciate guests who share these values and wish to discover the Alps with awareness, respect, and responsibility.
If you have any questions or need assistance during your stay, we are always happy to help.
A warm welcome to Studio Castor.
We wish you an unforgettable stay in Zermatt at the foot of the Matterhorn.
