About the Accommodation
Located on the 2nd floor of a picturesque village house dating back to 1914, this 3-room apartment offers a unique living experience. Without the convenience of a lift, this historic house is known to have once belonged to the artist Franz Baumberger. His fondness for the colour of the champagne label "Veuve Clicquot" inspired him to have the entire house painted in this particular shade. The flat itself is comprehensively equipped and leaves nothing to be desired. It has two bedrooms that guarantee a comfortable stay for guests. A baby cot is available for the youngest visitors, while the kitchen is equipped with modern amenities such as an oven, microwave, fridge and coffee machine. In addition, a CD and DVD player, a TV and Wi-Fi provide entertainment and a connection to the outside world. The special highlight of the flat is a fondue set and a raclette set, which ensure cozy evenings with traditional Swiss dishes. The flat is a non-smoking area, but offers all comforts from kitchen linen, pots, pans and crockery to a washing machine and tumble dryer. Pets are welcome in this welcoming environment, and a car park is available for guests arriving by car. The combined living and sleeping area, complemented by a separate kitchen, makes the flat an ideal retreat for families or groups who want to experience the special flair and history of this house.
Information on the Surrounding Area
From here it is only a few metres to the Mattstock chairlift, which in summer is the perfect starting point for hikes in the beautiful hiking area around Amden. In winter, the chairlift offers direct access to the piste almost on the doorstep. The indoor swimming pool, restaurants and shopping facilities are in the immediate vicinity. Lake Walensee can be reached by bus or after a short 5-minute drive and offers wonderfully refreshing moments. Buses run every half hour in the direction of Weesen and Ziegelbrücke or every hour up to the Arvenbüel district. Please bear in mind that they are in the centre of the village, and you may be able to hear the village life.
Experience Tips Directly from Your Host
Amden is located in eastern Switzerland above Lake Walensee. The village offers a magnificent mountain backdrop and is only about an hour's drive from the centres of Zurich, St.Gallen or Chur. The diverse regions of Glarnerland, Heidiland, Graubünden and Zurich with Lake Zurich are easily accessible by bus, train or car. In winter, the family ski resort of Amden with its renowned ski school and other ski resorts in the surrounding area such as Flumserberg or Pizol, Elm or Braunwald are a great attraction. In spring, summer and autumn, the lake and the mountains provide a wonderful contrast and offer a wide range of activities.
