Charming Chalet by Arosa with stunning Alpine views

The chalet is equipped to a very high standard with a beautiful kitchen, large living space upstairs and magnificent views. Originally we invited ten as there are ten bed places but were very glad we ended up with only seven as the two double beds are only 4’ wide and not big enough for the average couple. We therefore used the two double beds as singles.

I stayed in the chalet for a week in July with 11 friends. We had a lovely time! The manager met us at the train station and brought our luggage to the house. The house is well-equipped with plenty of dishes and utensils for a week of cooking. We thoroughly enjoyed the view from the balcony upstairs, and ate our breakfast there usually. There are many opportunities for hikes in the mountains, as well as a short train ride to the town of Arosa. In Arosa there is a gondola to a restaurant and a panoramic view of the alps. It is also a short ride to Chur, which has many cultural opportunities. We had a delightful dinner in the next town, Litziruti. Some members of our group took short walks along the river, and others of us walked for hours in the mountains. We found that there was more to do than we had time for. We would happily return for another vacation!

We stayed at the Chalet im Wieselti with our extended family (10 people in total) and had a great week. The chalet was very comfortable and could easily accommodate us all. The amenities are great and it really felt like a home away from home. Location was excellent for us, close enough to Arosa for skiing but also great hiking possibilities from the doorstep. The owners and caretaker were very helpful and friendly and we will definitely be back!

we had a lovely time, the house was beautiful and clean, overall an amazing holiday. thanks

It was a perfect vacation. The Chalet is very clean, comfortable, equipped with all important things and with perfect Service nearby the house.

we were very impressed with the owner, she communicated with us numerous times before our trip and checked in by email on the first day. the chalet is very spacious, clean, well equipped kitchen, magnificent view. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning some day...

The view from the front windows of this chalet, down into the valley towards Chur and up the valley toward Litziruti and Arosa, are wonderful. However, the chalet is located just a few metres above the main road between Chur and Arosa, which means there is almost non-stop traffic noise from just before 0600 until between 2000 and 2100. This traffic includes trucks, buses, cars, motorcycles, and many are being operated by people who believe they are race car/bike drivers. Driving between Langwies and Chur is a challenge unless you are very used to mountain driving and the trip even takes some courage for the passenger. The chalet has well-equipped kitchens, with all the required cooking and preparation tools. There is HD satellite service but the TVs are old-fashioned and do not transmit the better quality picture to the viewer. The bedrooms are very small, with very little space around the beds to get in or out of bed without bumping into a wall. There was also a very limited provision of linen with only enough provided for each occupant, rather than enough for linen changes, one bath towel, one hand towel, one facecloth per person, and sheet and duvet/pillow covers for each bed which was to be occupied (and we were there for two weeks so did expect at least the offer of clean towels). The caretakers, the Ashwandens, were very friendly and convenient as they live next door. The village of Langwies was very friendly and has a good shop, the Dorfladen, and a good pub/restaurant, the Edelweiss Gasthaus. The train to and from Chur is an excellent way to travel down into the valley and the timings are extremely reliable. Hiking into the mountains was a real treat, especially with the prospect of good food and drink along the way, such as was available from the Pirigen and Heimeli. Days spent walking were terrific with fresh air and lovely vistas.

Great chalet, well equipped and spacious enough for eight adults to cook, eat, drink and relax together! There was even enough room for occasional extra dinner guests. Split across two floors, which could each be self-contained, the layout was flexible and suited the needs of our two families both with university-aged children - in other words it had TVs, Wi-fi etc. Great location in terms of walking, cycling with good access to Arosa, Chur and intervening villages, by car or train. The weather was fantastic and we enjoyed a variety of local events including an Alpfest in Peist and the traditional 1 August festivities. If you like walking, you'll be spoiled for choice - we particularly enjoyed the trek to the Gruner See (take your swimming togs), followed by food at the Berggasthaus Strassberg, and the walk to the Restaurant Heimeli (more good food) on the way to the Strela Pass. The cable car up the Wiesshorn and then the gondola down from the Hornli was a fun day. The train is a great resource for weary walkers - runs like clockwork and will even take your bike. Langwies is up a valley and in the mountains, so there is the trip down to Chur before you can visit other places, but we spent a day enjoying historic Lucerne and one day we nipped over the border into Lichtenstein and Austria, Some of our party were returning to Langwies after 40 years, others had never been to Switzerland but we all agreed it was a truly memorable holiday! We were very lucky with the weather - only one wet day and some spectacular evening storms. The location and local amenities were excellent, the caretaker and people generally were friendly and the chalet well-maintained - has much more to offer than a standard 'holiday let'. I'd happily recommend Chalet im Wieselti for a unique break and would love to revisit in winter.
