Luxury 6 bedroom chalet with stunning views in the Bernese Oberland

Vier Familien mit 8 Erwachsenen und 5 Kindern zwischen 6 und 1 Jahr waren auf der Suche nach einem schönen Ort in den Bergen um den Jahreswechsel zu feiern. Gefunden haben wir das Halteweidli, ein echter Glückstreffer! Die grosszügigen Wohnfläche, das Spiel- und Kinderzimmer, zwei Badezimmer, grosse Küche.... und ein grosses Wohnzimmer mit Kaminfeuer und 180° Ausblick auf die Bergwelt! Klingt gut? Es kam noch besser: Das Haus ist umringt von Wald, Wiesen, Bauernhöfen und wunderschönem Berg-Panorama. Der Blick auf das Nebelmeer über dem Thunersee war märchenhaft schön und der Schnee verwandelte alles in eine Winterlandschaft der Superlative. Rund um das Haus kann man bei Schnee Langlaufen, Schlitteln und Winterwandern. Bei genug Schnee sind auch die ortseigenen Skilifte in Betrieb. Reicht der Schnee nicht für die Skilifte in Aeschi, so sind diverse Skigebiete in ca 30 - 40 Minuten per Auto erreichbar, darunter Schilthorn-Mürren, James Bond lässt grüssen!

Alles in allem ein traumhaftes Haus und umbedingt zu empfehlen. Jane ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin und sehr hilfsbereit. Wir werden bestimmt wieder einmal ins Halteweidli fahren! Nochmals vielen Dank Jane!

We looked for a quiet place to stay in the Berner Oberland area and we got it!

A spacious Chalet for just the two of us, just perfect for two couples and/ or a large family.

We were so lucky to find a perfect place to stay

Unfortunately we were there less than a week

We were seven adults and there was room for all of us

The hostess, Jane, thinks of everything

We made car trips each day from there and looked forward to returning each evening to prepare a beautiful dinner

The info sheets and personal attention we received couldn't have been better

Location and services were also just what we needed

I'm so glad I discovered this gem

When we (the ten of us, including four small children) pulled up to the parking area on an overcast and partly rainy day we were immediately stunned by the view into the Kandertal. It reminded us of illustrations in fairy tale books: the dark pine trees thorough which mysteriously meandered the fog, anticipating magic creatures populating the woods with the giant Niesen standing by like a guardian. The impression was not lost on the children who daily explored the surrounding woods in search of mystery. Early morning hikes up and down the valley also exhilarated some of us adults.

The inside of the house was no less stunning; the living area a bright wide open tastefully decorated space, a large chessboard by the window inviting to contemplation and relaxation, a solid wooden table in the dining area. The kitchen was well equipped to produce great family meals. The children’s bedroom simulating a hayloft was a hit from the start. The rooms were simply decorated and neat. One greatly appreciated feature we took advantage of daily was the terrace equipped with a large table and plenty of chairs and a retractable awning. Even a slight drizzle could not spoil the enjoyment of our fondue (in Aeschiried, across from the indoor pool is a good butcher who also keeps a very nice selection of higher quality cheeses than found in the chain stores). Last not least, Halteweidli is an ideal place to enjoy the Berner Oberland, both its pastoral charm as well as the tourist attractions a short ride away (Lake Thun, Jungraujoch, Aareschlucht etc). The owner evidently takes pride in the property and supplies a very detailed instruction and recommendations manual.

We were 10 family members of Swiss origin living in the USA (6 adults and 4 teenagers) on a 2 week vacation at the Halteweidli. The chalet was just perfect for us, plenty of room, very clean and well equipped, exactly as described on the "Home Away" website. and, of course, the location was great with beautiful views and plenty of opportunities for great sightseeing trips. We can highly recommend it. Having a car is a plus as you can get to Spiez, Thun, Interlaken in no time where there is plenty of sightseeing and shopping. We all enjoyed it very much and we want to thank Jane for her assistance both by emeil and telephone.
