About this chalet rental

This exquisite 3 bed ski/walking chalet is in Wengen in one of the most outstanding areas of Switzerland. The Eiger, Jungfrau and Monch mountains provide an breathtaking backdrop to some spectacular ski and walking trails. The highest railway station in Europe is only a short train ride away with glacier walks and views that will blow your mind! The chalet has a wrap around balcony with sweeping views of the Lauterbrunnen valley from the Jungfrau to Interlaken.

The Journey to car free bliss

Park in Lauterbrunnen and take the small cog railway to the village of Wengen where you will find the chalet a 8 minute walk away in a quiet little area with epic views.

The Space

The chalet has every amenity for a truly magical mountain experience from the fondue and raclette to the balcony seating that offers you an unrivalled view of the mountains and valley that make this area of Switzerland so special. It is a home from home and has everything you would need to dine in including spices, oils, tea, coffee - everything that you don't want to have to buy and then leave!

The chalet featured in Homes and Interiors Scotland Magazine Nov/Dec 2017 edition and was described as " A cosy, stylish escape with plenty of rustic charm".

The Area

Ski Season

The busiest time on the resort is when the World Cup Downhill event takes place mid January, it is one of the classic races in the skiing calendar and is a really big deal. Around 40,000 people descend on the village and it takes on a carnival atmosphere for 3 days - it is nothing short of crazy!
For the rest of the winter season the area has a much more sophisticated relaxed vibe and you sometimes feel that you are the only person on the slope, even in the kids school week! The village is really small with a bakers, cheese shop, restaurants, bars and two awesome interiors shops.

The resort is a bit of a well kept secret, I am sure the Swiss want to keep it for themselves, however those that do find there way there end up never going anywhere else - the beauty of it gets under your skin and keeps you coming back.

Spring and Autumn

In the spring and autumn this really is a special place as the village is quiet and you feel like you have the lower mountain walks to yourself. There are a few restaurants that open all year round and the quality of the food is superb. Our favourites offers local game dishes during the autumn served with roasted chestnuts, red cabbage and spatzeli, a local dish that is awesome! If you want to cook in there is a Coop supermarket and local shop in the village that can cater to most culinary needs. There is also a local bakers and most importantly a cheese shop where you can get in touch with your alpine self with all the mountain delicacies! There is a lovely walk from the chalet down to the valley floor where you can pick up a trail that takes you all the way up the valley to the cable car that takes you up to Murren - a must if you are exploring the area!

Summer

Wengen is an all year round resort and in the summer the walking is sublime. You can walk straight from the door of the chalet where you will be in the heart of the most beautiful scenery anywhere on earth (OK I am biased) The Jungfraujoch, the highest mountain railway in Europe, is accessed from the station which is a 7 minute walk away. Package tourism started right here when a certain Mr Thomas Cook brought the first guests to Wengen in 1863. In that group there was a young lady by the name of Gemima Morrell who kept a diary of the adventure and has now become very famous with tours named after her. During a telephone conversation with my Fathers’ s cousin, Margaret Morrell, it transpired that I was distantly related to Gemima! She was blown away by the scenery in this area and it is easy to see why when you visit this very special region.

We loved the town, location and views of the apartment! We struggled with directions to the property though and ended up lost walking around trying to find it for a hour with no response to messages or a phone call to Suzanne for help, so that was very frustrating. The directions provided were not the route we walked to get there, so we’d recommend a bit more or ready to communicate as people we asked weren’t sure where the house was and our phone data wasn’t working for maps. Overall the place was worth the hiking to and from it and we enjoyed the neighborhood cats. It was a little hot and we couldn’t find which furnace was on, but opening the windows helped. We loved the area and already miss it. The local bakery was an amazing breakfast spot and Crystal Bar was super welcoming and had good pizzas.

This chalet was reasonably priced for busy season travel to the Wengen. The Chalet is 5 mins walk from Wengen railway station. Our entire experience was very positive about this property i.e. price, check-in, communication with owner, facilities, space etc.

The view is amazing, can see the valley floor and waterfall up the end of the valley. The space is nice and roomy and the owner responses quickly, especially through WhatsApp.

Our family loved the quieter village and it was still quick, very efficient to travel around Bernese Oberland region from this relatively central location. The views from the balcony were magnificent and changed dramatically during the day. The house worked perfectly for our family of three. The kitchen was one of the best equipped we’ve found after years of VRBO rentals. We tried to adhere to the nightly quiet hours but it took some adjusting early in the trip Recommend arranging for grocery delivery from Dorflade for the beginning of the trip. We used the SBB Half Fare Card to buy the BO regional pass and Jungfraujoch so we didn’t spend as much time as I’d like in the village. But just a great reason to return.

Wengen - Wow! And what a perfect chalet to experience it from. It is cozy, beautiful, well-located and….the view! I jokingly said that postcards must have been invented here because otherwise no one would believe that such a place exists. The decor of the chalet is beautiful and cozy. It invites “hanging out”. The glass doors that accordion open to the deck let you fully immerse yourself in that view. Six of us (three couples) enjoyed the house immensely. The only thing to note is the bathroom situation (not a problem, just different). Some bathrooms have showers and some have toilets. And all have sinks. But there are not “full bathrooms” that have all of the above. But even with six unrelated couples, that wasn’t a problem at all. We chose who was going to do what, where and all was good. The kitchen is one of the best-outfitted I’ve ever enjoyed in a VRBO. Clearly this is a home that the owner loves and enjoys (and who wouldn’t!). My one piece of advice - add at least a day or two to your planned length of stay. There are so many things to see and do in the area that you need time to experience those, while leaving time to simply enjoy the chalet as well. It would be criminal not to have a day (or two or three) where you just lounged around the chalet, read a book, and allowed yourself to simply “be” in that amazing environment.

Great space for large groups. Cleanliness needs improvement.
Great space for large groups. Cleanliness needs improvement.
Just wanted to say, Suzanne has been very responsive and helpful despite traveling herself. When we arrive, you must realize it is a 10 min walk down a steep hill to get to the chalet. Please do yourself a favor and call for a luggage taxi! Going out on day trips is definitely a hike up and down that hill! There are some quirks about the place, but I guess it gives it some character. The sliding doors to the bathroom and shower upstairs are semi transparent. We found cookie crumbs on the bed, floor, and dining table upon arriving. Recycling is done up the steep hill next to the train station (10-15 min walk). The view is amazing and we really enjoyed having breakfast and coffee outside in the balcony. Overall it was a very memorable experience !

Amazing location and Chalet
Amazing location and Chalet
We had such a great week staying at Chalet Sulegg! The views from every room were amazing and the Chalet was perfect for us-3 adults and 3 teenagers. We especially loved the large table on the patio and spent a lot of time out there enjoying the view of the valley below. Glad we got a luggage service to help us coming and going. The Coop in town is right by the train station so it was easy to buy groceries when we arrived. The Chalet kitchen had everything we needed to make great meals and fondue. Suzanne was very helpful and gave great tips and information for both the chalet and the surrounding area. We would love to visit again and would definitely stay here!
