What guests report

View

Mountain views with Matterhorn backdrop (though not always directly visible from all rooms); scenic surrounding landscape with hiking trail access

Bed & mattress

Very comfortable, high-quality beds and mattresses; excellent sleep quality reported by multiple guests

Bathroom & water

Private en-suite bathrooms in each bedroom with excellent water pressure and hot water; well-stocked with towels and toiletries

Wi-Fi

Adequate on lower floors but weak signal strength on upper floors and some rooms

Breakfast

No breakfast service offered; guests prepare own meals or dine locally

AC / heating

No air conditioning mentioned; heating system adequate and responsive for winter stays

Local knowledge

Arrive during daylight; the 300-400m uphill walk to the chalet is steep and treacherous in darkness or poor visibility.

Contact Lukas in advance to arrange motorized sled assistance for luggage transport; highly worthwhile for large groups or heavy baggage.

The Hennu Stall après-ski bar is a 1-minute uphill walk; ideal for an evening visit before skiing back down to the chalet.
