Property Ahorn is a stunning family chalet located in a picturesque position above Wengen. The chalet offers incredible views of the mountains and Lauterbrunnen valley while receiving plenty of light from its southwest exposure. Originally built in 1932 and renovated in 2012, it is extremely rare for this kind of chalet to become available in Wengen. Location Chalet Ahorn is located in a stunning position in the upper part of Wengen. Ahorn is set on the hillside in a private and quiet situation surrounded by nature. Despite this private location, the centre and main lift are both just a short 10 minute walk away. Price: 2,890,000 Sfrs Altogether Ahorn has 200m 2 of interior space on a large 1827m 2 plot of land. There are five bedrooms, two of which have access to balconies. The chalet centres around the spacious and open living/kitchen/ dining area with a feature fireplace and original wood panelled ceiling. This leads out onto the expansive, sunny balcony with a shaded area for a barbecue, table and chairs with plenty of space left over. Ahorn is in great condition and the recent renovation has both improved the chalet and maintained the traditional aspects of the original building. The basement has a cellar, washroom and a number of storage areas. These present the possibility to add a wine cellar, wellness area or gym.
Traditional traffic-free resort Resort Information Wengen is an attractive, traditional, traffic-free village perched in a sunny position above the Lauterbrunnen valley at an altitude of 1275m set in stunning scenery. This is a charming and traditional resort, with Victorian built hotels and a calm, unhurried atmosphere. It has some of the most dramatic views in the Alps and is a firm favourite with well-heeled British visitors who return year after year. Wengen is a perfect dual season destination with Interlaken and the lake nearby, while tours to the Jungfraujoch go year round. Getting there Just 45 minutes from Berne, less than 2hrs from Zurich, 2hrs 30 from Geneva. A new service from London City to Berne with www.flyskywork.com makes Wengen one of the fastest transfers in the Alps. Wengen is accessible only by a cog railway built over 100 years ago. Visitors leave their car in the multi-storey car park next to the station in Lauterbrunnen and take the train up. Many visitors prefer not to rent a car or drive as the Swiss railway is such a pleasure to use. Restaurants and shops offer classic Swiss fare, with excellent mountain huts across the ski area and a variety of easy ways for non-skiers to head up the mountain for long lunches. The infamous cog railway is a fantastic way to get around the mountain, while non-skiers can occupy themselves with walking, ice skating and 95km of toboggan runs.
Part of the Verbier ski area with 410km of pistes for all abilities Winter The Jungfrau lift pass covers Wengen, Grindelwald, and Murren with a total of 213 km of pistes up to 2970m. The reconstruction of the Mannlichen cablecar now gives a convenient and speedy alternative to the train. Apres Ski Wengen can be a lot of fun for a small resort with a sleepy image. The Tanne bar is always busy and is a good starting point for an evening out, while most of the hotel bars stay open late and have music playing in the evenings. Beginner skiers can take advantage of the fantastic teaching in resort, while intermediate skiers have plenty of long rolling slopes to choose from and can spend a day travelling right across to Grindelwald. Restaurants in Wengen generally offer high quality food; we recommend the Caprice, Baren and Schonegg and the Hirschen in particular. In January the spectacular Lauberhorn international ski race takes place, but during the rest of the season, the World s longest race course is open for everyone. It is one of a number of excellent Black runs in the area that keep the area exciting for even the most experienced skier. With stunning scenery, a friendly atmosphere and fantastic skiing, it s no wonder visitors to the resort come back year after year.
