Close your eyes. When you hear “Switzerland” what do you imagine? In you mind there will probably appear not only watches, chocolate and banks, but also peaceful valleys, lakes, mountains and finally… chalets. It’s impossible to count them: there are chalets everywhere in the Swiss Alps and the luxury industry has found out how to create authentic gems. For those who appreciate top facilities in nature and like outdoor and sport activities, I suggest that you consider the following chalets for your next holiday in Switzerland.
