At first glance, this stylish apartment full of parquet flooring and clean-line design wouldn't look out of place in the middle of a city, but the mountainous view out the window gives the game away. In reality, the home is found high up in the Alps in the heart of Saas-Grund and is perfect for outdoorsy types all year round, whether they want to hike or cycle in the summer or go skiing in the winter — both trails and lifts to the slopes start about five minutes' walk from your front door. The apartment building itself is geared towards those who want to make the most of the great outdoors. Down in the basement, there are rooms for storing skis and bikes, while there's also an additional catering service that will not only stock the fridge with breakfast items but can also deliver a freshly-prepared three-course dinner to the apartment every day. Elsewhere in the resort town, there are restaurants, bars and nightclubs should you feel like letting your hair down when the nighttime comes around.

About Valais
In Valais, deep green fields roll into open woodland, and craggy mountains slope down into placid alpine lakes. It’s a region that’s built for adventures. In summer, go hiking across wildflower meadows or cycle along mountain trails, and explore the delightful terraced vineyards of the Rhône Valley’s wine region. In winter, go skiing around the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps or rub shoulders with the rich and famous in Zermatt...
