The absolute south-facing position guarantees sun from morning to evening. From the balcony of the chalet you can see three groups of four-thousand-metre peaks: the Weismies group (4,017 m) on the left, the Mischabel group with the Nadelhorn (4,327 m) and Dom (4,545 m) in the middle, and the Weisshorn (4,505 m) and Bishorn (4,153 m) on the right.FEEDBACKS: 170 feedbacks are listed on our own, clearly organised homepage.

On clear days it is very beautiful, but no greenery is growing yet %3D a quiet time. From the beginning of May, spring awakens with vigour. Around 20 June, the cattle parade with cow fights. The federally protected alpine meadow next to the house is not mown until the beginning of July, so enjoy the sea of flowers until then. On the Moosalp, a nationally renowned hiking paradise, local festivals are regularly celebrated in August. Late summer begins with the cattle drive down from the alp around 10 Sept. The cows then stand in the meadows around the chalet so that you can enjoy the (moderate) ringing of the bells. From 20 Sept. to the beginning of Oct. the deer rut in the Bannwald forest below the Moosalp with impressive roaring. From the beginning/mid-October, the open larch forest turns gold - a spectacle of colour that is almost unbelievable in its intensity! The peak of the concentrated luminosity is from around 18 October to 10 November. From then until Christmas very quiet. Meanwhile in Nov. + Dec. often beautiful days, then clear with the best view of the now snow-covered mountains all around.Large LIBRARY and selection of Bluray films for bad weather (rare in Valais) and the evenings.Wine: 11 very good regional wines are available in the chalet for guests to choose from.ARCHITECTURE: The exterior design is orientated towards the local chalet style, but is detached from anything heavy, instead aiming for the principle of visual lightness. The resolute lightness is repeatedly expressed in convincing detailed solutions. The roof soffit and exterior louvres are each made of larch in exclusive craftsmanship by the Törbj carpenter. The interior fittings are characterised by an exclusive and explicitly modern-looking knotless Swiss larch wood, which has not yet been used in this consistent form in an Alpine chalet.LAST-MINUTE: If the chalet is not booked 14 days before the usual start of the rental period (%3D Saturdays), there is a 25% discount, if it is not booked 7 days before, there is a 35% discount.COMPLETE PRICE without FINAL CLEANING: the price quoted is always a complete price including e.g. heating, electricity, towels and linen.
