Amazing chalet! Definitely want to go back!

We have never seen such a charismatic chalet that was that well equipped and was incredibly clean. The structure of the chalet is a bit surprising (you have to go outside to access the bedrooms), but it ended up working for us and we had the best few days there. You can tell that the hosts put a lot of care and attention in upkeeping this chalet and try to make it as convenient as possible for all guests. Love love love it!

Idyllic, scenic, quiet, comfortable, authentic

Our family--and friends who also joined us--so enjoyed our week in Chalet Tanner. It was a perfect start to our travels in Switzerland, thus we were spoiled for the rest of our trip! Nothing else could quite compare with the historic chalet, modernized nicely while also keeping the integrity of the historic home. And the easy access to hikes, the town, restaurants was so nice. We long enjoy remembering such a special week at Chalet Tanner. And thank you to Norbert for charming us as much as the chalet itself!

Lovely farmhouse

We really enjoyed our stay in this authentic farmhouse. The decorations and woodwork were amazing. Comfortable beds and, despite being an older home, all the modern conveniences. The location is in a beautiful community and we loved our walks through the town. A bit of a language barrier for us with the gentleman living there (we, unfortunately, do not speak French or German), however, there was prompt and excellent communication with the owner. Took a day trip to Mt Blanc and another day trip into Montreux. Highly recommend this as a place to explore in this area of Switzerland.

Beyond expectations!!!!!!

Wonderful old chalet with so much character, the beautiful on-line pictures don't do it justice after stepping foot on the property. Well supplied and maintained. Very comfortable accommodations with lots of room. Comfortable bedding for a great night's sleep, which isn't always easy to achieve away from home. It's an easy drive to a variety of interesting areas. Must have a vehicle as this house is up a winding mountain road with beautiful scenery. Olivier was very friendly and easy to communicate with . Norbert was also very nice and tried to communicate with the 4 of us (2 couples), however, we had a little bit of a communication gap with him as he only spoke French to us and 3 out of the 4 of us knew very minimal French (our bad, not his). Even though he could not speak to us in English, he was able to recommend taking a drive to Gruyere by communicating to us on our map. We took his advise and had a great time. Also spent time in charming Montreux. The 4 of us had the best time and highly recommend this fabulous chalet.

Wonderful Area for Vacation!

Accessible to many sites, but you'll need a vehicle, if you want flexibility. Bus schedule to/from town is limited. During our stay we visited Montreux, Chateau Chillon, Berne, Martigny, Lac D'Emosson and Geneva on day trips. (Glacier 3000 as well, but wouldn't recommend that one...there are way better ways to view a glacier!). Chalet was very traditional and pretty comfortable, but would've been a little small for our group of 7 if we had long periods of rain. Doorways are for short people! Olivier and Norbert were fantastic with responding to questions and checking in to see all was going well.

Super séjour en famille

Très bon séjour en famille à Plans sur Bex chez Olivier. Le chalet est authentique, très agréable, décoré avec gout (beaucoup de vieux bibelots charmants) et également très bien équipé. Norbert, le père d'Olivier a été très accueillant, nous a donné de bons conseils et passait nous voir régulièrement pour s'assurer que tout allait bien. Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir une semaine ensoleillée, même s'il faut sortir de Plans pour en profiter, le soleil n'étant pas assez haut en hiver pour éclairer le village. Mais sur les pistes de Barboleuse ou de Villard le soleil est bien présent. Nous avons également profité des nombreuses attractions locales, bains, chateaux, mines, etc. Bref des vacances tout a fait réussies.

Schönes geräumiges renoviertes Chalet mit Charme

Wir waren drei Familien mit 5 Kindern im Urlaub. Super Bergkulisse, spektakulärer Talschluss. Für den kleinsten gab es viel tolles Holzspielzeug. Die vier grösseren Kinder bekamen das Gallerie Zimmer und waren dort glücklich. Die Stube könnten wir Erwachsene sehr geniessen. In der Küche war alles vorhanden und selbstgebackenen Brot aus dem Holzofen hat besonderen Wert . Eine Waschmaschine und ein Trockner rundeten alles ab. Erfahrungen mit Holzfeuer sind vorteilhaft. Die Vermieter haben sich täglich nach unserem Wohlbefinden erkundigt und waren sehr freundlich und gaben gute Tips Guter Ausgangspunkt aus dem ruhigen Tal zum trubligen Skigebiet. Auf halber Strecke nach Bex gab es noch ein Cafe mit frischem Brot und sonstigem Bedarf. Gerne wiedermal. Danke an die Vermieter.

Beautiful setting. Comfortable, well-equipped chalet.

Perfect position for some beautiful hiking and sightseeing in the Vaud region and beyond. Peaceful village setting but with easy access to restaurants in the village and beyond. Norbert was always on hand if help and advice was needed. An outlet for basic local provisions would have been helpful but we managed fine without it. Would certainly visit again.

Un havre de paix, une décoration de goût, un accueil inoubliable!

Ce chalet est un endroit absolument délicieux. Il est vieux de 300 ans et l'intérieur à été refait avec un goût et un charme incroyable. Tout es juste parfait. Le village ainsi que toute la région est magnifique, très calme et l'ambiance est baignée par les bruits de l'Avançon qui coule a quelques mètres de la. Le chalet est extrêmement bien aménagé, très confortable, wi fi impeccable, cheminée, cuisinière de luxe, chambres avec velux et peaux de lapin, salle de bain avec bain turc! sans oublier le légendaire Norbert, qui nous accueil, fait du feu pour s'assurer de notre bien-être et compte les histoires de la région! Un endroit extraordinaire que nous recommandons vivement a tout épicurien, amoureux de la nature et des belles choses. Un grand merci encore a la famille Reymond.

Picture Perfect!

Oliver was great to work with - responded quickly and gave us great tips about the area before our arrival and called to check on us the day we arrived. This was our first stop on a 18 day vacation - we worried that the rest of our trip would be a let down because our time in Plans Sur Bex was so perfect!!. When I mentioned to Oliver that we were interested in seeing a Desalpe, he told us it was our lucky day, the Desalpe would go right by the chateau. I enjoyed it so much I had tears in my eyes!!! We also made an easy drive to Visp and took the train to Zermatt. Our only problem was the drizzle & clouds........but no one can control that! The beds were comfortable, the shower upstairs was wonderful. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed making our own breakfast every morning before we set out to see the beautiful country. just a heads up - some low ceilings........didn't bother me, I'm short, but the two men over 6 ft did bump their heads a time or two. I would love to go back to this area one day and would definitely want to spend more time at this authentic chalet. Thanks Oliver and Norbert for your hospitality!

Спасибо за гостеприимство!

Невероятная красота альпийской природы, горы, тысячелетние ледники, нависающие над вами - вот потрясющий вид, который открывается из окон старинного шале 18 века - ровестника Санкт-Петербурга! А в доме Вас ждет оборудованеие и комфорт 21 века, теплейшее гостеприимство, оказанное Лаурой и Оливером. Шале очень просторное, прекрасно декорированное в соответствии с аутентичным швейцарским стилем 18 века. Дом, находящийся под исторической охраной, расположен в чУдной, уютной деревушке, в которой есть все необходимое для спокойного экологического отдыха, включая рестораны. А вечером к Вам придет познакомиться лиса из соседнего леса. Угостите её чем-нибудь - берет из рук! Олени также не будут Вас бояться. Горнолыжные склоны Виллар-Грйон-Дьяблере прекрасно подготовлены. Катание - великолепное! Мы отдыхали здесь как в сказке! Спасибо Лауре, Оливеру и Норберту за незабываемые впечатления, которые мы получили. Это были одни из наших лучших альпийских каникул! Надеемся когда-нибудь вернуться вновь! Светлана и Александр, Санкт-Петербург, Россия.

Amazing Chalet! The ultimate Swiss experience!

My family of 8 stayed here over the Christmas holiday. It was a prefect retreat for us, and is close to so many incredible sites. The chalet was our home base for visiting Zermatt (and seeing the Matterhorn), as well as exploring the Lake Geneva area (Montreux, Lausanne, and other smaller cities). The little town it is situated in is so cute and picturesque. Olivier was great to work with, and made the whole process so easy. The chalet stayed warm 24/7 as they had a lovely heater going that heated up the house. Couldn't recommend it more!

About the host

Hosted by Olivier Nicolas

Host profile image
A historian and art historian, we love to travel to beautiful houses and enjoy entertaining in this mountain family home. We look forward to sharing it with you.

Why they chose this property

The family home, listed as Swiss cultural heritage, dates back to 1714. That's 300 years this year! The house is nestled in a wonderful nature reserve. The wild animals come to the garden to graze (deer, stags, foxes, and chamois)

What makes this property unique

A postcard from Switzerland offers a natural reserve and wild animals (chamois, foxes, stags, deer, etc.) It is a few minutes from the ski runs and the main thermal spas in French-speaking Switzerland.
