As a small child, I visited my aunt every year with my mother and brothers and sister. In the next couple of years, I visited her with with my family.
The moment I open the door of my chalet, one can smell the wood. And then I know for sure, I'm home again.
After unpacking, my husband and I are sitting at the balcony to enjoy the view and the sun and a delicious glass of wine. When it gets colder a little later we light the fireplace and enjoy the warmth and the sound of the crackling wood, in our cozy living room.
Because there is an open kitchen, my husband and our daughters can sit at the bar for a cozy drink while I prepare the food.
When it is time to go to bed we close the shutters and are already looking forward to being able to open them again in order to enjoy the beautiful view again. In the master bedroom there are two French doors that provide access to the terrace. I always open these doors in the morning and enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains while enjoying a delicious cup of tea.
In the summer it is a treat to light the barbecue. I have had a large barbecue built so that all plates and meat can be placed on it.
For groceries shopping you can go to Arolla, or after a short drive at the Coop in Evolène. Do you really want a day out, then you can go to Sion to have a nice morning. Sion is a real must to visit. It is a beautiful city with many nice shops and cozy terraces.
Because my aunt had bought land around the chalet, a lot of privacy was created. Now you really have the peace and you can enjoy the view without looking inside the neighbors.
