Owner's Profile
Why the Owner Chose Zermatt
Grachen is such a charming place! It makes you feel like stepping back in time when life was simpler, people were nicer, and yet it has all the conveniences of modern life. Banks, TV, fine restaurants, music on week-ends, open trails to everywhere. You feel at peace here, and the Matterhon and Zermatt are nearby to visit and enjoy!
The Unique Benefits of this Chalet
From the Chalet in Grachen you feel like you are on top of the world. The mighty Alps surround the Chalet and most of the high peaks are snow covered year around. The air if pure and fresh and in the surroundings you can still some cows or sheep grazing in the hills with an occasional
encounter with a ram or mountain goat. A glacier is nearby and can be reached in less than 2 hours. This is the perfect place to relax and rediscover inner peace.
