Holiday home Diablotin
The facility
Zinal lies at an altitude of around 1,670 metres at the end of the Val d’Anniviers. The impressive mountain landscape, featuring numerous four-thousand-metre peaks, makes the village an ideal base for hikes, mountain tours and exploring nature.
In summer, countless hiking trails, blooming alpine meadows, mountain lakes and impressive peaks await. In winter, Zinal transforms into a versatile winter sports resort with a ski area, snowshoe trails and a stunning snow-covered mountain landscape.
The Diablotin Holiday Home – your own little chalet in the Valais mountains. The Diablotin Holiday Home is situated on the outskirts of the mountain village of Zinal, in the heart of the stunning mountain landscape of the Val d’Anniviers. This charming, lovingly renovated Valais mazot (two-storey) combines traditional chalet charm with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Covering around 60 m², the chalet can accommodate up to 5 people. It features three bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, a cosy living area and its own garden.
At the same time, you’re not on your own: the chalet is situated above the Reka holiday village Zinal. You can make use of the village’s facilities – including the indoor swimming pool and the play and sports areas. This combination is ideal for families in particular: your own little chalet offering a private retreat, whilst at the same time providing plenty to do for both children and adults. The ‘Village de vacances’ post bus stop is situated below the Reka holiday village (ski bus in winter).

You can ski in Zermatt 365 days of the year, and in many places children can use the slopes for free. The wild and romantic Goms is a paradise for hikers, snowshoers and cross-country skiers.
