Description
Charming vacation apartment in a two-family chalet - pure nostalgia right on the Unterbäch-Ginals ski slope.
This charming piece of mountain idyll lies at 1,640 m above sea level - a place where time slows down. Here you can breathe in the pure alpine air, hear the gentle ringing of cowbells in the distance in summer and feel the soothing tranquillity of an untouched mountain world. A place to let go, recharge your batteries and focus on the essentials.
The lower 3-room apartment in a 2-family vacation home combines originality, simplicity and genuine Alpine charm. Those looking for authenticity rather than luxury will find a home full of soul and history here.
The furnishings are simple and functional: a small open kitchenette with double sink, cozy dining area, shower, two separable bedrooms with two double beds each and practical storage space. A separate cellar and bike room offers space for skis, sledges or hiking equipment - ideal for active nature lovers.
In winter you can start skiing right outside the front door, in summer you can hike from here across lush alpine meadows or through quiet forests. Just 350 m away, along a small, paved mountain road that winds through forest and pasture, a cozy restaurant with regional cuisine awaits you. In winter, the same road serves as a ski and toboggan run. During this season, access to the chalet is via the chairlift up to the Brandalpe.
The apartment also includes a large piece of pastureland of 1,748 m². This generous plot offers the opportunity to build a main residence and/or garage only. Here you have plenty of space for your deckchair, a small garden bench or simply to walk barefoot in the grass.
