About the home
Le Petit Pre apartment is within a quiet residential chalet, beautifully appointed with 3 bedrooms, large terrace and close to village amenities. This lovely apartment is used by our family & is our 'home from home' and is our third year of renting. The stunning Gstaad valley has spectacular scenery and breathtaking views. Chateau-d'Oex is a family friendly village which has retained its delightful Swiss character.
The summer months are perfect for nature lovers and walkers as well as for families who want to spend days by the open air swimming pool. Cycling in this valley is brilliant. Pro cycling training camps also train in the region. Skiing in the mountains here is relaxing and for all abilities. No crowds. No queues!! It is helpful to have a car in order to visit other ski areas in the valley but not essential as the train runs to the other ski areas in the valley and skis can be left in the station ski lockers. The village cable car is a 10 min walk away.
The apartment is a wonderful base for both summer and winter activities and for all ages. In summer the large terrace is perfect for relaxing after a days activity, walking, hiking or white water rafting.
