The 18th-century chalet, listed as a Swiss historical monument, is fully refurbished and furnished with original pieces. It has a Swiss postcard atmosphere. This family home is welcoming and the rooms and bedrooms are comfortable and spacious. Enjoy modern comfort in a traditional setting set in a small village on the doorstep of one of Switzerland's most beautiful nature reserves. Here you can see wild animals, marvel at nature's beauty, and visit Alpine farms that sell cheese. The rental is a few minutes away from the main ski resorts. The ski runs pass in front of the chalet. This is an ideal environment to hike in snowshoes or cross-country skis.

We have never seen such a charismatic chalet that was that well equipped and was incredibly clean. The structure of the chalet is a bit surprising (you have to go outside to access the bedrooms), but it ended up working for us and we had the best few days there. You can tell that the hosts put a lot of care and attention in upkeeping this chalet and try to make it as convenient as possible for all guests. Love love love it!

We really enjoyed our stay in this authentic farmhouse. The decorations and woodwork were amazing. Comfortable beds and, despite being an older home, all the modern conveniences. The location is in a beautiful community and we loved our walks through the town. A bit of a language barrier for us with the gentleman living there (we, unfortunately, do not speak French or German), however, there was prompt and excellent communication with the owner. Took a day trip to Mt Blanc and another day trip into Montreux. Highly recommend this as a place to explore in this area of Switzerland.

Accessible to many sites, but you'll need a vehicle, if you want flexibility. Bus schedule to/from town is limited. During our stay we visited Montreux, Chateau Chillon, Berne, Martigny, Lac D'Emosson and Geneva on day trips. (Glacier 3000 as well, but wouldn't recommend that one...there are way better ways to view a glacier!). Chalet was very traditional and pretty comfortable, but would've been a little small for our group of 7 if we had long periods of rain. Doorways are for short people! Olivier and Norbert were fantastic with responding to questions and checking in to see all was going well.

Thank you very much to Olivier and his dear father Norbert for the opportunity they gave us to enjoy a unique and charming home, which the fragrances of time have only improved. If you love an old house without giving up modern comfort, this is the place

This is a very unique cabin in a very beautiful location in the mountains.

Perfect position for some beautiful hiking and sightseeing in the Vaud region and beyond. Peaceful village setting but with easy access to restaurants in the village and beyond. Norbert was always on hand if help and advice was needed. An outlet for basic local provisions would have been helpful but we managed fine without it. Would certainly visit again.

Wonderful old chalet with so much character, the beautiful on-line pictures don't do it justice after stepping foot on the property. Well supplied and maintained. Very comfortable accommodations with lots of room. Comfortable bedding for a great night's sleep, which isn't always easy to achieve away from home. It's an easy drive to a variety of interesting areas. Must have a vehicle as this house is up a winding mountain road with beautiful scenery.
Olivier was very friendly and easy to communicate with . Norbert was also very nice and tried to communicate with the 4 of us (2 couples), however, we had a little bit of a communication gap with him as he only spoke French to us and 3 out of the 4 of us knew very minimal French (our bad, not his). Even though he could not speak to us in English, he was able to recommend taking a drive to Gruyere by communicating to us on our map. We took his advise and had a great time. Also spent time in charming Montreux. The 4 of us had the best time and highly recommend this fabulous chalet.

Oliver was great to work with - responded quickly and gave us great tips about the area before our arrival and called to check on us the day we arrived.
This was our first stop on a 18 day vacation - we worried that the rest of our trip would be a let down because our time in Plans Sur Bex was so perfect!!. When I mentioned to Oliver that we were interested in seeing a Desalpe, he told us it was our lucky day, the Desalpe would go right by the chateau. I enjoyed it so much I had tears in my eyes!!! We also made an easy drive to Visp and took the train to Zermatt. Our only problem was the drizzle & clouds........but no one can control that!
The beds were comfortable, the shower upstairs was wonderful. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed making our own breakfast every morning before we set out to see the beautiful country.
just a heads up - some low ceilings........didn't bother me, I'm short, but the two men over 6 ft did bump their heads a time or two.
I would love to go back to this area one day and would definitely want to spend more time at this authentic chalet. Thanks Oliver and Norbert for your hospitality!

Our family--and friends who also joined us--so enjoyed our week in Chalet Tanner. It was a perfect start to our travels in Switzerland, thus we were spoiled for the rest of our trip! Nothing else could quite compare with the historic chalet, modernized nicely while also keeping the integrity of the historic home. And the easy access to hikes, the town, restaurants was so nice. We long enjoy remembering such a special week at Chalet Tanner. And thank you to Norbert for charming us as much as the chalet itself!

My family of 8 stayed here over the Christmas holiday. It was a prefect retreat for us, and is close to so many incredible sites. The chalet was our home base for visiting Zermatt (and seeing the Matterhorn), as well as exploring the Lake Geneva area (Montreux, Lausanne, and other smaller cities). The little town it is situated in is so cute and picturesque. Olivier was great to work with, and made the whole process so easy. The chalet stayed warm 24/7 as they had a lovely heater going that heated up the house. Couldn't recommend it more!
