This self-sufficient chalet has clean modern lines and gets straight down to business. That’s not to say it isn’t charming, only that its form and function are perfectly married to create a simple, cleverly designed home that maximizes its breathtaking surroundings. Light wood walls and ceilings are cut out in big picture windows that reveal the gorgeous landscape. A toasty firepit speaks for itself with simple chairs arranged around it for your enjoyment. And the kitchen is bare but outfitted with the essentials for meals at home. We particularly love the front garden, which takes full advantage of the hill’s vantage point with two chairs and a small table waiting for you to take in the view. Enjoy evening sunsets or morning coffees out here before seeing all that the neighbouring area has to offer. You’ll be a quick twenty-minute drive from Bex and can easily reach Lac Léman with a fifty-minute drive. There’s a walking path just one mile from the home, and plenty of hiking paths in the area. Golfing, riding and mountain hiking are fair game in the summer and come winter, the ski resort of Villars is an easy thirty-minute drive away.

Local guide
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...
