Location: Geneva, Lake Geneva, Switzerland, Europe (Charmey in the Gruyere Region; 30 minutes to Lake Geneva)
Accommodations: Chalet, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
The chalet is ideally situated in the pre-Alps above the charming village of Charmey. Picturesque Charmey is located 30 minutes from Lac Leman, aka, Lake Geneva, home of the famous Montreux Jazz Festival. The wide range of activities for families and lovers of sport and culture make this traditional mountain village a popular holiday destination in summer and winter.
There are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy in Charmey. Walk ten minutes to the village through sweet smelling pastures to the cable car that will take you up the mountain for breath taking, panoramic views. Enjoy a leisurely 2 hour hike down the mountain or parasail down after refreshing yourself at the mountaintop restaurant. Rock climb, mountain bike or relax in the thermal baths at the new spa in Charmey. Charmey has an amazing number of restaurants and cafés for its intimate size. There is a complete supermarket, weekly farmers market and a "laiterie" which gets its milk daily from the cows that grace the mountaintops. From the chalet, walk 10-minutes to the village for the best freshly baked croissants, breads and pastries, home made yogurts, butter, the famous Gruyere cheese and amazingly delicious Creme de la Gruyere, found only in this region of La Suisse!
Our chalet is the perfect launching point to explore Charmey and all that Switzerland has to offer. The apartment is located on the ground floor of a three-story chalet. The interior is newly remodeled and tastefully decorated with everything you’d need to enjoy your stay. There are incredible views from every room, and you’ll wake up to the sound of tinkling cow bells and fresh mountain air. And after a day of adventure and exploration, you’ll enjoy coming “home,” where you can relax on the large grassy lawn, play a friendly game of ping pong or bocce ball, or sit on the terrace to watch the sunset with the grand peaks of mountains rising up all around you.
