Le Chalet du Ciel is a secluded, south-facing, fully serviced Swiss chalet nestled high in the mountains just 20 Mins (14 miles) from Gstaad. With no neighboring properties, expansive panoramic terraces, and breathtaking views of the surrounding Alpine peaks, this authentic 1890 “Heidi-style” chalet offers an idyllic mountain escape in every season—whether as a serene summer retreat or a cozy winter ski base.
The Chalet
Set amidst pristine nature above the charming cheese-making village of L’Etivaz, Le Chalet du Ciel offers total privacy and tranquility. Surrounded by forests, fields, and majestic mountains, the chalet provides a unique opportunity to experience traditional Swiss Alpine life with modern luxury.
Summer:
In summer, the property is surrounded by lush pastures and pine forests, with countless hiking trails at your doorstep. The chalet overlooks a working dairy farm, producing some of Switzerland’s finest cheeses. You’ll be serenaded by the gentle sound of cowbells as you relax in the sun.
Winter:
In winter, the chalet becomes a peaceful snowy sanctuary. The nearest ski slopes are just a six-minute drive away, with access to over 200 km of pistes open from late October to early May. After a day on the slopes, return to the warmth and stillness of your private Alpine haven.

Luxury Chalet Butler Service
As part of your stay, you’ll enjoy the exceptional care and attention of our dedicated Resident Chalet Butler, delivering a seamless experience that mirrors the standards of a five-star hotel. Thoughtful, discreet, and always attentive, your butler ensures that every detail is taken care of—so you can simply relax and enjoy your time in the mountains.
The butler is available for 8 hours each day, typically divided between a morning shift and a late afternoon to early evening service. From preparing your morning tea or coffee and making the beds, to providing evening turndown and maintaining the chalet throughout the day, the service is tailored to your rhythm and comfort. If you provide the ingredients, a light breakfast can also be prepared and served to your preferences.
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted with hot or cold lavender-scented towels and a personal tour of the property. Throughout your stay, your butler will ensure that every room remains pristine, drinks are served when desired, and any personal needs—such as shopping, luggage assistance, or special arrangements—are taken care of with ease.
Should you wish to extend the butler’s service beyond the standard 8 hours, additional time is available upon request at CHF 25 per hour.
