Nestled between lush green pastures and iconic peaks, the alpine chalets of Northern Vaud offer a unique experience, combining local gastronomy, breathtaking panoramas and living traditions. Whether you’re a hiker, cyclist or simply an epicurean, these peaceful havens invite you to take your time and savor the moment.
A living heritage in the heart of nature
Since the 15th century, alpine chalets have set the pace in the mountains of the Vaud region. Once dedicated to cheese-making and herd summering, these stone and wood buildings have evolved while preserving their rustic charm. Today, some thirty chalets welcome visitors for a gourmet and convivial break.
A gourmet getaway with local flavors
Each chalet offers a menu featuring regional products: creamy fondues, slathered tommes, crispy röstis, artisanal charcuterie and homemade desserts. Accompanied by a glass of Chasselas, these dishes will delight the most discerning palates.
An experience for everyone
Whether you’re with family, friends or just the two of you, our alpine chalets are the perfect place to recharge your batteries. Children will enjoy the play areas while adults relax to the sound of cowbells and the whisper of wind in the fir trees.
The chalets are often located close to iconic peaks such as the Chasseron, the Dent de Vaulion or the Aiguilles de Baulmes. After a hike or bike ride, treat yourself to a well-earned break on the terrace, with its breathtaking views of the plain and the Alps.
