A large saddle roof with a lot of overhang, a weathered wooden facade, a postcard motif: this is what a chalet should look like. More than three hundred years since construction began, and the interior spaces have just been renovated, so the house is old yet modern. An ancient, venerable farmhouse, a whole world, surrounded by high mountains. For a consciously slowed-down life, far from any hustle and bustle.
