Le Chalet du Ciel is a secluded, south-facing, fully serviced Swiss chalet nestled high in the mountains just 20 Mins (14 miles) from Gstaad. With no neighboring properties, expansive panoramic terraces, and breathtaking views of the surrounding Alpine peaks, this authentic 1890 “Heidi-style” chalet offers an idyllic mountain escape in every season—whether as a serene summer retreat or a cozy winter ski base.
The Chalet
Set amidst pristine nature above the charming cheese-making village of L’Etivaz, Le Chalet du Ciel offers total privacy and tranquility. Surrounded by forests, fields, and majestic mountains, the chalet provides a unique opportunity to experience traditional Swiss Alpine life with modern luxury.
Summer:
In summer, the property is surrounded by lush pastures and pine forests, with countless hiking trails at your doorstep. The chalet overlooks a working dairy farm, producing some of Switzerland’s finest cheeses. You’ll be serenaded by the gentle sound of cowbells as you relax in the sun.
Winter:
In winter, the chalet becomes a peaceful snowy sanctuary. The nearest ski slopes are just a six-minute drive away, with access to over 200 km of pistes open from late October to early May. After a day on the slopes, return to the warmth and stillness of your private Alpine haven.
