Great check-in experience

Recent guests loved the smooth start to this stay.

Park for free

This is one of the few places in the area with free parking.
NEWLY RENOVATED! Light-filled, minimalist 120m2 duplex apartment in an old barn. Cosy, modern chalet style with lots of wood and traditional touches. Perfect for families!

2 bedrooms with 6 beds that can be configured as singles or doubles. Fully equipped kitchen with all major appliances and a large fridge freezer.

Stunning views of the mountains from 2 large south facing balconies.

The chalet is a 10-minute walk from the village with its train station, large supermarket and services.

The space
We recently renovated this apartment in and so everything is new! It has a really nice, large, open plan living/ dining area with a wood-burning stove for cosy evenings in winter. It's on two floors, with one double bedroom & en-suite bathroom on the main (ground) floor and a huge second bedroom and bathroom upstairs.

We think it's perfect for a family (or even 2) as the first bedroom is large enough for a baby bed (ask us if you need one!) and the top room can be configured with double and /or single beds. Both bathrooms have baths in them for younger children and we can supply highchairs as required.

We live just across the road where we run Le Vieux Chalet* (see separate listing) and so are usually on hand to welcome you and help you during your stay.

For a slightly smaller apartment or one that is all on one floor, see our other listings in the same building.

*The Vieux Chalet has a spa area with jacuzzi and wood-fired sauna. We do our best to make this available to apartment guests but this cannot be guaranteed. The Vieux Chalet is rented year-round for events/ retreats/ camps/ seminars etc and so sharing the facilities is not always possible.

Other things to note
This apartment is on the ground floor. There are two small steps to the main entrance of the building. The second bedroom is up a flight of curving internal stairs.
The apartment has a Nespresso capsule machine, a 6 person Bialetti moka pot and a French press coffee maker.
We provide bin bags, dishcloths, washing up liquid, tea towels and hand soap.
There is also salt, pepper, plastic wrap, foil and greaseproof paper in the kitchen.
The apartment has equipment for making fondue and raclette.
We provide some tabs for the dishwasher - enough for a weekend stay - but if you are coming for a week you might need more ;-)

FAMILIES: We have a travel cots and highchairs available - let us know if you need these items putting in the apartment for your stay. We also have a backpack-style child carrier for hiking that you can borrow while you are here. We have two children ourselves (aged 10 and 7) so we can advise you on age appropriate hikes and activities in the local area!

Neighborhood highlights

This is one of the prettiest, most authentic and yet easily accessible corners of the Swiss Alps. Here you'll find traditional chalets, field of grazing cows and a large network of trails that are perfect for all levels of hikers and bikers. The apartment itself is in a renovated barn on the outskirts of the village in a quiet residential area. Footpaths leave in every direction and the trail in the forest along the river is a good place for an easy, child-friendly walk or bike. A 10 minute walk takes you to the village centre where there is a selection of small shops, bakeries, cafes and restaurants and supermarkets. The village has a sports centre, football pitch, tennis courts, bowling alley, ice rink (winter), cinema, riding stables, crazy golf and hospital. There are numerous local festivals and events year round.

The train connects Château-d'Oex to the Gstaad Mountain Rides domain. Gstaad is a pretty pedestrian village - treat yourself to a drink or a spa afternoon in one of the 5-star hotels or go to Charlie's coffee shop to see if you can spot a celebrity ;-)
