Each room has grown over the decades, through repairs, small additions, a new window here, a different bed there. We describe each one separately, so you can choose what suits you best.
The original parlour from the 1923 build. Walls, floor and the four-poster bed are made of two-hundred-year-old Swiss stone pine, cut by Anton Imboden himself. The floorboard creaks, some say it’s part of the lullaby.
, The door only closes if you lift it slightly. A peculiarity we will not be fixing.
Small and still, with a slim oriel that catches the first sun. Named after the small alpine lake above the house, just deep enough to swim in summer. Ideal for those who write.
, In the oriel stands a writing-desk inherited from the village priest, Pfarrer Truffer.
Two rooms in line, a sitting room with the old soapstone stove in front, and a bedroom behind, with two beds and a child’s berth. The west balcony catches the evening light.
, The soapstone stove has been fired the same way since 1947.
The whole top floor. Three bedrooms, a small kitchen with a gas hob, a shared sitting room under the rafters, a long timber balcony with views across the Aletschwald to the Rhône valley. Named after the place where three glaciers meet.
, In summer the heat shimmers under the roof, we recommend rising early.
There are no other rooms. We do not grow.
