Unbelievable setting

Just returned from a fabulous stay in Wengen. The chalet is in a great location - just far enough from the center of the village to feel relaxing and a little 'away from it all' but an easy and enjoyable walk in each day. The view of the mountain from the patio and ease of access to the ski-in/ski-out bar across the street is unmatched. Julie was super helpful with directions to chatlet, explaining how to adjust the heating, etc. The chalet is fully equipped with all the gadgets you might need - multiple hairdryers, French press for coffee, plenty of pots and pans. Couldn't recommend this highly enough!!

Owner response:Thank you for your kind comments, we hope you will return one day very soon, its just as beautiful if not more so during the summer months. Kindest regards, Paul.

We have just arrived home from wonderful Wengen and we want to return NOW.Nestled high in the Swiss Alps its like a picture you would expect to see on a box of christmas chocolates.Surrounded by mountains with views down into the valley, no cars, pretty village houses and the pretty mountain village with its quaint shops and restaurants just a short walk away.The small mountain railway takes you up to the fabulous Eiger and if you want to keep going, up to the highest railway station in Europe,and the views are just incredible. The chalet itself was wonderful, spotless, fabulously equipped and very comfortable,we sat in out T shirts inside whilst the snow fell outside.Its very modern so the kitchen and bathrooms are top knotch,couldnt fault anything and its very well furnished.If you are skiing its right on the slopes, plus we will definately return one summer as its in just the right place to expore all the mountain walks, infact your right on them. Wengen is one of the places in the world you must visit and I promise you you will not be dissapointed and Chalet Brunner is the place to stay to enjoy all it has to offer.Dear owners, thank you again and thank you for all your assistance leading up to our visit it was most helpful. We will return.

The flat itself was clean and well-maintained. My only comment is that we arrived in Wengen at 6:40 p.m. We were staying at an off-peak time, mind you, but the village is a bit of a ghost town. The grocery store was closed for the evening, and it was difficult to find a place to eat. There were no taxis in sight, and this flat is up a steep mountain and a good 10-15 minute walk from the train. When we arrived at the flat, we were dismayed that there was absolutely no soap available, and there was nowhere to buy the soap until the next morning. I don't recommend visiting Wengen at an off-peak time, as all the warm weather paths were all closed, but the cold weather paths aren't open yet for the season [despite inches of snow]! In an off-peak time, you would be much better off staying in Lauterbrunnen or Interlaken or someplace bigger, that has more to do.

Owner response:Dear Nola, Thank you kindly for taking the time to submit a review, a 4/5 is a good score, however we do take on board your comments and intend to introduce the following procedures. For visitors that intend to arrive late we will discuss leaving a welcome pack for them to include essentials to see them through to the next day.The local shop closes at 6.30 every day including high season, so we understand the problem.Soap was in the chalet, unfortunately in glass mirror cabinets in the bathrooms, that dont look like cabinets, we will leave it out in future.There is a free telephone link directly to the taxi at the station which you must have missed, in future we will make sure visitors have the number before they arrive. We do really appreciate your comments,thank you.

Traveling with my mother and 2 sisters, Chalet Brunner was the absolute perfect accomodation for us. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful location with the Jungfrau off the back terrace, and the quaint village of Wengen with restaurants and grocery shopping just a few minutes down the hill. The property is spacious for 6, immaculately maintained, and of course the owner Paul was extremely accomodating in making our plans. We hope to return soon! I highly recommend a visit to the Schilthorn, then hike from Murren to Gimmelwald and tram down to the valley for a stop at Trummelbach Falls...a great day of activities.

Owner response:Dear Nancy, Thank you kindly for your comments, we hope you return soon, you still have in excess of 100 hiking trails to explore. Kindest regards Paul

We loved the unit in CHALET Brunner.... beautiful apartment, contemporary furniture, stunning views from the walk-out living room, quiet location ( a bit up the hill, 5 min walk from "center"/ train station etc). We heard the cow bells and looked up the mountain at the glaciers (once the clouds allowed it) Our stay could not have been more relaxing (just wished there would have been less rain, but that's out of everybody's control, right?). The owner did an excellent job in replying to my numerous emails before our arrival - it was great - definitely want to be back for a longer stay than the 4 nights we had this time. Thank you, Paul!

We just wanted to say thank you for the lovely holiday we have just had in your beautiful apartment. We found it very comfortable and spacious and perfect for our needs. It is very well equipped. There can't be many apartments with a choice of champagne glasses! The weather could have been kinder but we were still able to do everything we wanted. We really love Wengen and are sure that we will want to book your lovely apartment again in the future. Once again thank you

I stayed at the Chalet Brunner in March 2010 and had an absolutely wonderful time. Fabulous views of the surrounding mountains and a quick ten minute walk in to central Wengan Chalet Brunner was the perfect location for my friends and myself to enjoy the Wengan ski area. There is a great après-ski snow bar just across from the apartment . The chalet was lovely with gorgeous with great living area and bedrooms. It was a wonderful Holiday thanks to the personal service of Paul and Joyce. Thank you for making this a memorable skiing holiday experience.

Chalet Brunner.....Heaven on earth...a gem tucked away in the Swiss Alps that literally, takes your breath away. Sitting in the living room, watching skiers whizz past you, not something you see on a normal day in your living room at home! The rooms are very spacious with impressive separate bathrooms and storage. The village has everything you could need, even for a family with kids. We did not want to leave Chalet Brunner!

There's one word to describe Wengen - perfect! We've been here three times and had a great time, every time. The apartment was spacious, comfortable and homely, with all the mod cons and what a perfect position! You're a walk or ski from the station, right at the end of a ski run and right next to a friendly, fun snow bar, a great place to end the day and watch the sun go down. The scenery, the village, the people and the food are all good. We've had a great time with lovely people and can't wait until next time.

"You will struggle to beat this chalet for all round contemporary comforts and high standards. We have experienced it in both summer and winter. In summer the views and setting made for a perfect quiet retreat, whilst in winter the easy access to the slopes and nearby Snow Bar made Chalet Bruner a great choice and is therefore highly recommended"

chalet brunner is fantastically located just a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Wengen and yet literally at the end of the slopes so you can truly ski back to the front door. the chalet itself is bright , airy spacious and modern with all furnishings and finishes to a superb standard. I have stopped in many ski chalets and this is definitely the best both for location and standard of accomodation - could not recommend it more strongly cheers

Chalet Brunner is a great way to spend your ski holiday in style. The apartment is peacefully located at the end of a blue ski slope so we really did ski back to the chalet. Before we did will passed a little snow bar for some great après-ski. The chalet is less then ten-minutes walk from the main shops and restaurants in Wengan and to the train that takes you straight to the top. This fabulous chalet in this beautiful location transformed our view of what a skiing holiday could be. Paul and Joyce were fantastic hosts and nothing was too much trouble and was without doubt one of the best winter holidays we had ever enjoyed.
