Great spot
Fantastic view, modern, well equipped chalet and comfy bed, what more could you want. If you have too much luggage like us, just be aware that it's a few 100 metres walk down from the cable car on a partly gravel road.

Perfekte Lage
Das Haus ist gut eingerichtet. Der Lift ist nur ein paar Hundert Meter vom Haus entfernt und Mittags/Abends kann man mit den Skien direkt zum Haus fahren. Das Skigebiet Lauchernalp ist klein aber fein. Perfekt für Familienurlaub.

Wunderschönes Chalet
Perfekte Skiferien in wunderbarem gut ausstaffiertem Chalet! Mit der Hausverwaltung (Bewi) waren wir gar nicht zufrieden. Leider war das Chalet nicht offen und wir mussten den Schlüssel selber organisieren, zudem war die bestellte, für uns überrissen teure Bettwäsche nicht dort. Nach mehrmaligem Nachfragen musste 1 Person ohne Bettwäsche schlafen.

Sehr schönes Chalet in traumhafter Lage
Wir waren 14 Tage von Ende August bis zum 10.09. in diesem Haus, das wie beschrieben und sehr gut ausgestattet war. Highlights sind die großen Fenster und die tolle Terrasse, so kann man sowohl von drinnen als auch von draußen das phänomenale Panorama genießen. Bis zur Seilbahn sind es nur wenige Minuten und der Halbstundentakt völlig ausreichend. Wir sind ohne Auto angereist und konnten uns gut im Tal mit dem kostenlosen Postbus bewegen. Für Wanderer bestehen viele Möglichkeiten und alles sehr gut ausgeschildert. Das Tal ist vergleichsweise noch sehr ursprünglich und unverbaut und - zumindest zu unserer Zeit- wenig besucht, also ein Wanderparadies! Als einziges hat uns die frühe letzte Fahrt der Seilbahn um 18:15 Uhr gestört, dadurch standen wir bei weitern interne

Is in werkelijkheid niet zoals beloofd
Mooie locatie. Het huis is slecht onderhouden. (terras versplinterd, ruit gebroken, toegang moeilijk wegens begroeiing, ...) Vuile was ligt verspreid in het huis.Internetverbinding is compleet ontoereikend, wordt gedeeld met de buren. Als deze toestellen koppelen kan je geen televisie meer streamen. SatelietTV met veel zenders, maar enkel shopTV en enkele anderen beschikbaar. (geen abonnement betaald door de eigenaar, je kan zelfs geen Zwitserse zenders bekijken) Ook onverwacht/niet afgesproken bezoek gekregen van de schoorsteenveger ikv periodiek onderhoud. Slaapkamers kunnen niet verduisterd worden. Inkijk van beide buren tenzij je de gordijnen volledig sluit, maar dan heb je geen uitzicht meer.

Tolle Location aber ..........
Das Chalet Rivendell liegt an hervorragender Hanglage, gut erreichbar mit herrlichem Blick ins Lötschental. Die Aufteilung des Chalets und die Ausstattung sind hervorragend. Nicht ganz diesem Standard entspricht die Sauberkeit des Hauses. Nutella mit Ablaufdatum 2020 im Küchenschrank, aber auch Vernachlässigungen bei der Reinigung entsprechen nicht dem Standard des Objektes. Haben ein wenig nachgereinigt und zwei tolle Wochen auf der Lauchernalp gehabt.

Christinas vacations in the snow
We really enjoyed our vacations in the snow with a marvellous view. The house is very well mantained and clean. Ski school is close by and in high standard. The only thing you should know is the supermarket is down in the valley and you need go down by cable car.

Phänomenale Aussicht
Das Haus hat eine phänomenale Aussichtslage über das ganze Lötschental, der Lötschentaler Höhenweg liegt fast direkt vor der Haustür. Das Haus hat alles, was es braucht, um sich wohl zu fühlen. Mit dem Wetter hatten wir leider nicht so viel Glück, too much rain in Switzerland. Der Weg zum Haus motivierte mich, ein wenig Gartenarbeit zu übernehmen. Die Vermieter haben sehr zuvorkommend und professionell mit uns kommuniziert.

Das Haus ist ausreichend für 4 Personen. Die Lage ist perfekt. Jedoch ist das Mobiliar und die Küchenausstattung sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Eine Grundreinigung ist unbedingt notwendig! (darf bei dem Preis für Bewiag erwartet werden)

Winterurlaub Lauchernalp 2020
Wir waren mit 4 Erwachsenen und 1 Kind angereist, dafür ist das Haus, nach unserer Meinung, auch okay. Das "Kinderzimmer" verfügt zwar noch über 3 weitere Betten, aber dann wird es im Essen- und Wohnbereich wirklich eng. Ein paar Kleinigkeiten in der Küche, wie Messbecher und ein Quirl haben gefehlt, aber die hat man sich dann einfach in der Nachbarschaft ausgeliehen. Auch über die Anordnung des Doppelbetts im Keller kann man diskutieren und vielleicht gibt es in Zukunft eine andere Möglichkeit, so dass der hinten Liegende nicht über den vorne Liegenden krabbeln muss, wenn er aufsteht. Der Kontakt mit dem Eigentümer war sehr gut und wir bekamen vor der Reise sofort Antworten auf unsere Fragen. Der vor Ort Kontakt mit den angegebenen Ansprechpartnern kam leider nicht zustande, war aber kein Beinbruch - wir wussten uns so zu helfen. Im Notfall könnte das aber schon hilfreich sein, deshalb nur 4 Sterne bei der Kommunikation.

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Jayne Maryan

Host profile image
We came to love the Swiss Alps through some good friends organising walking trips along the paths and trails that are such a delight to use in the Summer months.
We then came in December our first Winter in the mountains and it was wonderful and we caught the bug of Winter sports and the rest as they say is history

Why they chose this property

We just love this Hidden Valley and the Chalet that is so near but so remote at times.

What makes this property unique

The stars visible in the Night sky on a clear night is one of the most spectacular you will ever see with almost zero residual light disturbance
The Great Snow Conditions
The local Wine, Meat and Cheese
The wide open countryside and views of the mountains and valleys
