Familial, convivial, charmant et traditionnel, Swiss Alpine Chalet

We enjoyed a lovely week in this comfortable and well-equipped chalet above Grindelwald. The location worked very well for us a family of 2 adults and 4 children and we enjoyed all the amenities available both near and far using our travel passes. We would definitely return.

Chalet Robles is unforgettable. I cannot even describe the breathtaking views we woke up to each day (even in bad weather). I wish I could add pictures to this review, as it would completely sell you!

The communication from Henri (as well as his sweet mother via phone while we were there) was outstanding. He's a very kind, gracious host and incredibly responsive from start to finish.

The chalet fit our family of 7 very well, with room for all to be comfy. We cooked meals there often and took advantage of the fondue set as well. We spent a lot of time on the patio, just soaking up the sun and views. It's pretty neat to watch the gondola run during the day. There are also cows all around, which my kids just loved.

While it is in the hills above Grindelwald, there are many things to do very close by - the scooter bikes, the downhill carts as well as a few others that are easily accessible using the Bort station that is literally at your feet. One of our favorites was the park - not only was my 3 year old obsessed with playing there, the scenery (and in turn, the incredible pictures of him playing) is just breathtaking. We go to parks all over the world and this one was definitely our favorite!

Only a few small negatives that are worth mentioning - When we arrived, the chateau was completely dark and closed up (no shutters open, no welcome, etc). I was worried for a split second I had made the wrong choice. BUT, once we popped the windows open and let the light in, it was easy to see what a lovely, clean home we had come to. The driveway is just very tall grass, so when wet it is a bit unpleasant to walk on from the car, but that's a small aside. The hot water only works up until a certain amount used, so we had to alternate showers each day. We managed and it was okay. The wifi is iffy, but if you're coming here to be on your phone/computer, you're in the wrong spot! And possibly the only thing that actually really bothered us on this stay - the drive up to the chalet. It's a long, winding, one lane, tiny road that technically really isn't much of a road, very tight fit. That in itself was uncomfortable, but what made it worse was the people on the scooter bikes. They are everywhere, all day until the evening. Some don't move out of the way, some kind of do, but having to stop every few minutes (and not kill anyone) was stressful.

The positives FAR outweigh any negatives, and I definitely would stay again. This home is fantastic!!!

Our family really enjoyed our stay in this family chalet, it was immaculate, with all the home from home amenities. The layout of the chalet was perfect for our two adult boys who came with us. The views from the supper table were amazing, there was a great balcony and the ski lifts were only a short walk away. We got a pass from the very useful tourist information office in Grindelwald as this allowed us to travel to many locations by lift, train and bus.

Grindelwald is busy with a lot going on and it was nice to retreat to the Chalet of an evening. The local Bort restaurant is very good, highly recommended. Grindelwald is a place to access a lot of must do things - we went by train to the top of the Jungfrau and stepped out onto snow, we had thick snow ontop of the Mannilichen-a favourite place and snow in August at the beautiful lake Bachesee. We saw lots of wildlife - a highlight on the Marmot trail were three baby ones.

The chalet is positioned quite high up the mountain so this should be anticipated but you don't need your car to access most of the activities which is really quite relaxing.

A lovely holiday. Thanks to the family for letting us stay and being good at sharing information and answering queries.

Very cozy place; a gondola ride from grindelwald .. its about 10 minutes , after 6 the cablecar stops in the summer. Then the playground just below is all yours. A small hike up you can bbq by a stream. Older kids enjoyed the scooter ride & step ride downhill. A minor was the internet connection was limited /slow . The house has all for those who like to cook which we really liked as many rentals come with the bare minimum. We also really enjoyed the gletcher slucht visit very close to grindelwald ; 10 min bus from first station. Great place !

Prachtig huis dat direct aanvoelt als een thuis. De omgeving is wondermooi en de verhuurders zijn super behulpzaam. Een echte aanrader. Wij keren zeker nog eens terug.
