Swiss Chalet in mountain village close to Montreux and Lake Geneva
The mountain village of Corbeyrier is situated on a sunny, south facing balcony 500 meters above the floor of the Rhône valley, close to Lake Geneva and Montreux. Here you can enjoy breathtaking views and a quiet, peaceful environment to unwind in. In contrast, 18km away you can enjoy the more trendy attractions of Lake Geneva, with popular Chillon Castle, the Montreux shoreline and its many fine lakeside restaurants. The chalet is situated in grounds of about 1000m2 with three terraces as well as ample parking. It is built on two floors. A large, well equipped kitchen, a dining area and large hall as well as a spacious sitting room and a shower/toilet are to be found on the ground floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a large bath/shower room. Each of the bedrooms leads out to the large sunny balcony, which enjoys magnificent views. The total living area is just over 150m2.

Corbeyrier is situated in the French speaking part of Switzerland, just east of Lake Geneva. On a sunny, south facing balcony overlooking the Rhône valley, the village is surrounded by (but not overshadowed by) mountains rising to over 3'000 meters (9'000 ft). The house is at an altitude of just under 1'000 meters (3'000 ft) above sea level. This is a totally unspoilt, little known area which is quiet and peaceful - but which offers many varied attractions just a short trip away. Lake Geneva is only 15 minutes away by car. There you can choose between a trip on the lake, a visit to Chillon Castle or a nice meal in one of the lakeside restaurants. The resort of Montreux offers a wide variety of attractions and events. Further afield, Evian, Lausanne and the cheese-making fortified town of Gruyère are all less than one hour away.

| Notes: | Corbeyrier was developed at the end of the 19th century as a center for patients recovering from tuberculosis. Situated above the fog layer, the climate is therefore particularly healthy with high annual sunshine levels. The local water mains supply is fed with pure mountain water from local springs - and (we think) is far better than bottled water ! For further information and more photos, feel free to contact us for our web site address. |
Public transport
The chalet is a 5 minutes walk from the nearest Postbus stop. The service takes you down to the mainline station at Aigle in 20 minutes. The bus runs seven times a day, with good connections to and from Geneva airport. We encourage the use of the excellent public transport facilities and we would be happy to assist you in planning your trip, as well as any excursions you would like to make. Swiss public transport offer some attractive passes for those who wish to use these services - contact us for details!
Winter holidays
Corbeyrier is not a tourist resort, so why not have a winter holiday with a difference ? Enjoy the crisp clear air, the bright sunlight and the magnificent winter views. Go for walks in the snowy environment. Or, for the skiing enthusiasts, Corbeyrier is less than 40 minutes drive (60-75 minutes by public transport) from 7 major ski resorts. So you can ski in a different place each day, and get away from the discos and the souvenir shops each evening !
Sustainable tourism
We believe that each of us has a duty towards future generations and this includes the way we spend our holidays. Avoiding large, purpose built complexes with often dubious water and energy sources, not to mention inexistant water treatment facilities can contribute to this goal. Our property is well integrated into the immediate environment. We source electricity from a nearby hydraulic powerstation (so it is 100% renewable). Water is from the local mountain spring and is so pure it doesn't need to be treated. Waste water is cleaned before it is returned to the river. We have invested in technology to reduce water and power consumption (although you won't notice it during your stay!) and we participate in the municipal recycling scheme by seperating rubbish. You can limit the impact of your journey by using public transport (trains here are regular, punctual, safe and clean!) or, if you decide to fly, you can participate in a carbon offsetting scheme.

'A superb chalet, spacious, well-equipped and with wonderful views'. 'Had a truly wonderful week, chalet is lovely'. 'The chalet was just what we were looking for, peaceful, functional, great views, remote enough to feel like you're escaping the 'rat-race' but close enough to towns (...) it was great sitting out on the balcony drinking local red wine and watching the stars appear!'. 'We have had an outstanding week in this homely, well equipped chalet'. 'A comfortable and relaxed home from home for 2 weeks which we loved coming home to each night'. 'The children loved their visit and we would certainly recommend the holiday and house to friends'. 'Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - thank you. Would love to return'.
