About this property

Superb Chalet with stunning mountain views, large garden, close to ski lifts

Chalet Roundhouse is a traditional Swiss chalet in Leysin which has five bedrooms, each with its own shower and toilet, three are en-suite and the master bedroom also has a large bathroom with shower. Four of the bedrooms have balconies with breathtaking views towards Villars and Les Diablarets. The spacious lounge seats 10 comfortably with Satellite TV, free access to the internet, and a cosy fire. The dining area opens up to the luxury fitted kitchen and separate study. The chalet has central underfloor heating with continuous hot water.
The ski station is 5 mins walk. In summer the ski lifts are open and give access to magnificent mountain walks. There are a wide range of activities in the village including mountain biking, skating, tennis, horse riding, paragliding and swimming in two sports centres. The Chalet has a large enclosed balcony suitable for small children which leads to a beautiful large flat gardens. Chalet Roundhouse is the perfect choice for families or those seeking to relax. Leysin is only a short train journey to Montreaux, Lausanne, Vevey & Villeneuve on Lake Geneva where there are so many things to see and do. Leysin is also an excellent base to visit many interesting places including Gstaad and Gruyeres. As well as the many things to do in Leysin we recommend you try Lavey - les bains Spa & Thermal Springs. Also only a short drive away is The Aquapark, Switzerland's largest indoor waterpark
Skiing & Snowboarding: The seven resorts of Leysin, Villars, Gryon, Les Diablerets, Les Mosses, Rougemont and Chateau-d'Oex make up the spectacular skiing area of Alpes Vaudoise, the skipass covers all resorts and is even free to under 9s. With 74 lifts and 220km of downhill pistes (135 miles) this must be one of the 'prized areas' for skiers visiting Switzerland. The region is just 115km from Geneva and can be reached in nine hours or less on mainly motorways from Calais. The Bern-Lausanne-Geneva motorway goes right past the 'gateway town' of Aigle and from here you turn off to Leysin or to Villars via Ollon.
Leysin has 17 lifts and a snow park with a half pipe, and ski tours and snow-shoe treks offer skiers and snowboarders ideal opportunities for enjoyment. And there is also a snow sport school, a lit cross-country skiing trail and toboggan run. A round of the Snowboarding World Championships is held in Leysin each year.

250 kilometres of hiking trails, mountain tours and interesting bike tours offer plenty of exercise in the open countryside. Mountaineers find several challenges in the precipitous chalk rock-faces which resemble the Dolomites. The difficult via ferrata at the Tour d'Aï is for experienced mountaineers only.

Events Nearby: World famous jazz festival at Montreux (July) and the lesser known and more intimate jazz festival at Cully (April).

International dog-sled race in Les Mosses - an air of the deep North: 700 dogs and their mushers compete for the prize (March).

Original Black Race - innovative snowboard race in Les Mosses: snow-shoe ascent to the summit and descent by board (March).

Leysin Music Panorama - folklore music festival on the Berneuse (June).

Heerlijk huis in een prachtige omgeving.
Alles verliep optimaal: de communicatie om tot een deal te komen, de info over huis en omgeving en het verblijf was een groot genoegen. We waren met 10 personen (3 generaties) en hebben geweldig genoten van de omgeving, skiën en wandelen. Terug in het huis genoten we van spelletjes, een borrel bij de haard en van de uitstekend geoutilleerde keuken. Alles voldeed aan al onze verwachtingen. Een aanrader dit fijne huis van Steve en Mary.

Perfect location for a family vacation
We had never heard of Leysin but wanted a chalet with atleast 3 bathrooms and regular sized beds. The pictures looked amazing and we decided to go ahead. The instructions to get to the place, to get the key, the folders with all the brochures of the equipment and things to do in the area were so comprehensive, we felt right at home. Equipped with all the conveniences you need and then some, chalet Roundhouse was a delight to stay in. We canceled 3 of our excursions just to spend more time together in the house, on the deck, cooking together and playing board games. Everything was spotlessly clean and in it's right place so was easy to find. I happened to mention to my host that we were missing having a toaster and she had it dropped off through a friend. Now that's showing an extra level of care I was not expecting. Having Hefti sports and the cable car just a stones throw away from the chalet meant that we were in the heart of the action, even though it felt as if we were in a remote place. Couldn't ask for a better location. Thanks Mary and Steve for amazing holiday. It was my mother's 75th birthday and she is totally thrilled. Leysin was a discovery. We shall recommend it to all our friends who tend to tread the beaten path.

Amazing Chalet and Amazing view
The house is huge and spacious. It has all the amenities required and more. Neighborhood is scenic with shops and commercial establishment in walking distance. Marry the owner, is always there to help you. In details: We loved staying at this beautiful, modern, and very comfortable chalet. It is well appointed, with everything one could need. The bathrooms quite nice, with plenty of hot water and great water pressure. The kitchen is well equipped, and it was nice to be able to do a load of laundry after kids playing. The wrap around deck is wonderful, with endless views of mountains.

Amazing chalet
This wonderful, spacious chalet is in a perfect spot, less than 5 minutes walk from the main ski lifts in Leysin. This was our second stay as we were so impressed with it last year. It's very well-appointed, spotlessly clean, with large comfy sofas and an ample dining area for our party of 10. Three of the five bedrooms are en suite. Lovely bed linen, super warm duvets and large fluffy towels and constant hot water (no cold showers!). The main living area is light and airy with stunning views of the mountains. The chalet owner is warm and charming, with a great local knowledge and happy to answer our questions on best ski school etc. The ski area is perfect for family skiing and we all loved it. So much so, we've booked again for a third year running in 2019!

A wonderful chalet
This was our first time in Leysin. We made a family trip, (6 adults and 2 babies). We spend two extraordinary weeks in Chalet Roundhouse. The property is spacious, well maintained, clean and very well equipped. The location is excellent. The wonderful chalet made our holiday a memorable trip. We can highly highly recommend it!!

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love the position of our Chalet as it is a very short walk to the ski lifts and we can walk into town

What makes this property unique

Beautiful Chalet with open fireplace. Very close to lifts and ideal if you wish to return for lunch. Leysin is such a friendly village and there are so many activities to keep us all busy. We can travel so easily to Montreux and Lausanne on Lake Geneva. There are thermal Springs just a short drive away and the largest indoor water park in Switzerland is nearby. We are so lucky to have a beautiful Swiss Chalet and the large wrap around balconies to enjoy the mountain views.
