Charming and cozy chalet in walking distance from the Promenade in Gstaad

The typical "Chalet des Rosiers" was built in the 70’s by 4 friends from Zurich who wanted a family-spot in the country. They found a plot of ground in “Grund bei Gstaad”, just a stroll from the Promenade in Gstaad, along the river Saane and with a beautiful view onto the fields and mountains which are as impressive in winter as in summer. Instead of dividing the place horizontally like an apartment, they decided to split vertically creating 4 small houses, a clever insight which adds to the charm and privacy of every individual unit. As such, every room in the house is connected by a small staircase.

Upon entering the house, you are immediately immersed in the Alpine atmosphere with old wooden paneling and lovely authentic furniture. From there you can go 6 steps up or down towards the 2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. Another 6 steps up you arrive in the open kitchen/dining room with the open fire and large, south facing, balcony offering a magnificent view onto farms, woods, fields, and mountains. In summer the fields are full of flowers, and you hear the cowbells clinging as where in winter you see people on foot, by horse or skiing by, through the magic white landscape. Eventually 6 more steps up you reach the cozy sitting area with fluffy chairs and sofas. There is free parking available for 2 cars.
The house is rented as a whole and comes with a professional concierge welcome who can also help you in booking transfers, restaurants, babysitting, ski passes etc.

Sometimes, when one is in a nostalgic mood, one goes back in time and dreams of small villages, away for the madding crowd, where people still say hello when crossing each other. Where there is beautiful nature around and the authentic architecture is respected. Where you still have the personalized luxury boutiques instead of the multistory & multinational chains. Where you find cozy restaurants and fancy hotels where food is freshly prepared and not the fast-food-places which are flooding our towns nowadays. A place where you could well encounter a classic movie star such as Julie Andrews, Ernest Hemingway, Roger Moore, David Niven, Audrey Hepburn or Elisabeth Taylor. Well, when you wake up from that dream you are in Gstaad !

In short, you are in the middle of nowhere and still you have everything important and beautiful on your doorstep. That’s why we fell in love with this area a few years ago and decided to acquire a small “pied-à-terre” to spend the holidays.

This chalet offers its guests a spa tub. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Gstaad chalet is smoke free.
