The chalet is located in the heart of the Lauterbrunnen Valley which is regarded as one of the most spectacular glacial valleys in Europe. Located in the Swiss Alps and surrounded by unspoilt natural beauty it is famous for the cascading 300m high Staubbach waterfall, which becomes even more impressive when illuminated at night. It is also the perfect base for exploring the mountain ranges of Jungfrau / Schiltorn / Breithorn and is the starting point to the car free resorts of Wengen and Murren.

Food is always an important part of any holiday and there are a variety of restaurants within a 15 minute walk of the chalet serving traditional swiss dishes plus a more varied menu and the food is excellent. If you want to cook yourself, the apartment is well equipped and groceries are available in the shop opposite the apartment or in Lauterbrunnen village. Here you will find a butchers, bakery, cheese shop and small supermarket.- or why not visit a local farm and buy some milk or cheese straight from the cow!!!

LAUTERBRUNNEN IN WINTER:

Lauterbrunnen is a perfect base for a winter holiday with ski lifts open from early December to mid April each year (subject to snow conditions). There are 45 mountain trains, cable cars, chair and ski lifts, with 213km of pistes for skiers and boarders. Also 100km of winter hiking and cross country paths, and 50km of sledge runs; with the cross country course running near to the apartment. There are also excellent English-speaking ski schools based in Wengen and Murren which also offer childcare facilities.

For the adventurous skier there is the Lauberhorn run above Wengen, venue each January for the Ski World Cup; or the wonderful 16km long run from the top of the Schiltorn back to Lauterbrunnen, rated as one of the best runs in the world with stunning views. The apartment provides easy access to both ski resorts with the ski bus stopping outside the apartment. Take the bus to Lauterbrunnen station (3 mins) then use the train to access skiing above Wengen or the cable car to access Murren skiing; or take the bus in the opposite direction to Stechelberg (7 mins) to access further skiing and the cable car to Schiltorn. What a great base to explore the Jungfrau Ski Region!!!

For the active holidaymaker you can enjoy activities such as skiing, snowboarding, snow-shoe trekking, sledging, paragliding, curling and heli-skiing. However for the more sedate there are reduced price passes for non-skiers so that you can enjoy the fabulous scenery or meet up for lunch. The revolving restaurant at the top of the Schiltorn should not be missed and further afield there are lovely shops and cafes in Grindelwald and Interlaken. It is also possible to take a boat ride on the lake year round.

LAUTERBRUNNEN IN SPRING/SUMMER:
