Description

Riverside Mountain Retreat

This lovely alpine-style ground floor four-bedroom apartment is situated just outside the small village of Val D Illiez, a valley near Monthey in the Swiss region of Valais. Besides Val-d'Illiez, Champéry is the most crucial town in the valley, one of the pioneers of early tourism in Switzerland.

Nestled at the foot of the majestic Dents du Midi massif, the Val d'Illiez municipality also includes Les Croset and Champoussin. It stretches several kilometres through a neighbouring valley of the Rhone named the Val d'Illiez. The Portes du Soleil ski resort offers nearly endless possibilities in winter. In the summer, visitors are thrilled to discover the many hikes, bike tours and the Via Ferrata, a secured climbing route.

The Riverside Mountain Retreat is the perfect escape for family gatherings or small group getaways. It offers beautiful mountain views, where you can bask in the fresh alpine air while sipping your morning coffee, a riverside garden with modern amenities and a sauna.

The spacious living area features large windows that flood the space with natural light and provide uninterrupted views along the valley to the majestic Dents Du Midi mountains and up to the historic church of ValD'Illiez. Relax on the comfortable sofas or walk out to the riverside garden, accessible directly from all rooms.

This apartment is ideally situated for the Portes du Soleil ski area with the option of the Ski Train to Champery ski lift from Fayot station or a short drive to Les Crosset, Grand Paradis or Morgins ski lifts, making it a fantastic choice for winter enthusiasts.

In the summer, explore the nearby hiking and biking trails, unwind by the river with a good book, play badminton in the garden or stretch out with some riverside Yoga. The charming village is just a short drive away, offering quaint shops, restaurants, and cultural experiences.

Amazing Location! Fantastic Home! Remarkable!

You could not ask for a better location to ski/bike/hike Les Portes du Soleil and just cruise around the Swiss and French Alps. It's 1.5 hours from Geneva Airport, 2.5 from Zurich, and you can even get there from Milan (that drive is AMAZING - up and over the alps - and totally worth it!!!!). Set in the valley, just below Champery, it's an easy 6 minute drive up the road to the Grand Paradis chair. Nobody parks there so it's super easy to come and go and the chair gets you to the high altitude skiing FAST. Plus, there's no reason to take the tram where they charge Euro5 to park and the tram is a hassle and crowded). The apartment itself is BIG - with four good bedrooms - and 3.5 baths - and comfortable with a good kitchen, easy dining area, good living room couch. The beds, linens, oversized pillows, and towels are good quality. There were 7 of us and we fit in nicely. This place also really works for day trips to tons of other alpine valleys / major ski/bike/hiking spots. We did the big day trip to Chamonix - onto the glacier on Mont Blanc up the Aiguille du Midi telepherique - it's only 1.25 hours - and WOW! You can also get to Verbier and others. Today's reality for Americans in particular is that skiing In the Rockies/Western USA has become so expensive that makes skiing the alps such a better deal. The flight is a bit more, but the cost of lift tickets and food and car rentals is so much less, and if you do a third home with this place, you have hit a HOME RUN! Nainan is also a great host. Super easy going and communication is easy. All in all - you cannot go wrong hanging out at this place! ”
