Location & arrival

The chalet is in a small mountain settlement at around 1,700 metres, roughly 12 km from Frutigen and 250 metres from Berggasthaus Höchst.

It cannot be reached directly by car. The final 300 metres from the parking area below Metsch / Höchst are on foot. A sledge is provided for luggage and supplies.

A folding wooden ladder leads to the open low loft above the lounge, which can sleep up to four children or adults. These beds are open to the shared room.

Lower room & bathroom

A separate converted room on the lower level has a 180 x 200 cm wooden combination bed with an upper berth for a child or teenager.

This room is next to the sauna and accessible only from outside. Reaching the bathroom and toilet requires crossing the outdoor terrace. There is only one bathroom with a shower and toilet. This is an important limitation when staying with up to twelve guests.
