Mountain Homes in Switzerland

By Lauren Jade Hill

Mountain Homes in SwitzerlandBy Lauren Jade Hill

Switzerland has long been home to some of the most exclusive addresses, from dynamic cities Zurich and Geneva, to picturesque Lake Lucerne. Some of the most desirable locations lie within the mountains, where a contemporary take on traditional chalets is met with sweeping mountain views and immediate access to some of the world’s most renowned ski runs. Here’s our pick of outstanding mountain homes in Switzerland that are on the real estate market right now.

Chalet Schlössli-li, Gstaad

Situated at the heart of heritage-rich town Saanen, the four-bedroom Chalet Schlössli-li is ideally located for the local ski scene, as well as shops and international schools. The property combines classic features, such as reclaimed-wood flooring and 19th-century wood paneling, with contemporary design and modern amenities. The chalet’s high ceilings and series of skylights mean the interior is flooded with light, with sprawling loft space on the top floor, and double French doors that open out onto a south-facing balcony for panoramic views of the Gstaad Valley and surrounding mountains.

Situated on a slope overlooking St. Moritz, the distinct curved form encompasses three levels of sprawling luxury apartments, and underground parking, with wooden cladding to create harmony with the elevated structure’s mountain setting. The 550-square-meter apartment, Via Tinus, encompasses five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a stylishly furnished living space, with a terrace overlooking the town and mountains beyond.

Alpine Retreat, Vaud

This Alpine chalet sits on a south-facing slope in the Villars-Gryon Resort area of the Vaud Alps, at an altitude of 1,300 meters. This mountain setting gives direct access to the surrounding ski slopes, with bountiful summer activities in the vicinity, from hiking and cycling to swimming and golf. And, with Geneva just an hour’s journey away, there’s plenty of scope for further exploration. With a secluded setting and surrounding greenery, the five-bedroom property affords plenty of privacy, as well as ample space. The warm, light-filled interior is made even more enticing with the addition of a terrace and lap pool, fitness room and cellar, and a large living space featuring a fireplace that truly makes it the heart of the home.
