IDYILLIC COSY OLD AUTHENTIC WOOD SWISS MOUNTAIN CHALET WITH SAUNA & GARDEN
Welcome to Le Petit Chalet, a cosy and authentic traditional semi-detached chalet, set in the beautiful Gryon–Villars-sur-Ollon region. Your fully self contained half of the chalet has its own entrance, kitchen, living areas, and outdoor spaces, offering the charm of a 1700s listed building combined with thoughtful modern comforts. As part of its original architecture, some ceilings are lower than modern standards, adding to the chalet’s character — taller guests may occasionally need to mind their head! The chalet is best suited for a maximum of 3 adults, or 2 adults and 2 children, ensuring everyone has comfortable space during their stay. The chalet features a fabulous private sauna, a sunny balcony and terrace with beautiful views, and a peaceful small, fenced garden perfect for relaxing in all seasons. Inside, the living and dining area is warm and inviting, centred around a fireplace. A complimentary starter basket of firewood is provided during the winter months, and additional wood can be purchased onsite. The kitchen is well equipped including a stove, dishwasher, microwave, and a fridge/freezer, making it easy to enjoy meals at home. Upstairs, the bedroom features a comfortable king sized bed, along with space for two additional children’s beds (a single fold out futon sofa and a single fold out mattress), making it ideal for couples or small families. The open plan bathroom with a washer, dryer and bathtub connects directly to the bedroom. Please note: due to the chalet’s historic architecture, the upstairs bathroom has a low ceiling, and the shower here is designed to be used seated. For guests who prefer a full standing shower, there is a second ensuite shower located downstairs next to the private sauna. The chalet also offers high speed WiFi and a small working desk, making it suitable for remote work or longer stays. A welcoming pet basket is there for your best 4 legged friend.
Other things to note • To help keep our village peaceful, we kindly ask guests to keep noise to a minimum after 10:00 pm. • Please remove ski boots before entering the chalet. • Dogs are welcome (maximum one). We kindly ask that they stay in the living areas rather than the bedroom. • Tourist Tax (Taxe de Séjour): already collects the canton wide tourist tax at booking, so there’s nothing to pay on arrival. If you’d like extra local benefits and discounts for the Gryon, Villars-Sur-Ollon and Les Diablerets resorts, you can purchase the Carte Bienvenue at the Maison du Tourisme in Barboleuse for a small additional fee.

About the host
Hosted by Carol Read
Passionate about Switzerland I love the country all year round. It has so much to offer, many people only think of the skiing but it has so much more. I live in England in a quiet area on the Duke of Norfolk's estate in Arundel surrounded by countryside. It is like home from home for me and my nutty Springer Spaniel when he is able to visit. I love letting the chalet and talking to new people and trying to make my guests as comfortable as possible.
Why they chose this property
If you love the peace and quiet of the Swiss mountains this little bijoux chalet is the ideal cottage, especially for a couple offering the sauna, gardens and outside space to dine and drink, in a romantic getaway.
If you want a taste of the traditional whilst offering modern day facilities, this is the place to come.
I would love to welcome you.
