The authentic village of Lauenen is located at the end of its own valley, 6 km from the centre of Gstaad. The valley opens wide at that point and offers a stunning far reaching view. The chalet is on the north side of the valley, facing south, hence very sunny and light. The small village has not much changed over time, all chalets without exception are of the traditional wooden built. There are three charming hotel/restaurants and two village shops with bakery. The road stops at the village and there are many walks and hikes in all directions. The well known lake, the Lauenensee, is a memorable 2 hour walk, with a possible stop at the lake in one of two little restaurants. There is public transport into Gstaad all year round and in the winter to the lifts of the region. The drive to Gstaad is 10 minutes where this international destination offers many luxury shops, large choice of restaurants and of course the famous Gstaad Palace Hotel, with its bar, restaurants, spa and night club.
