Chalet Enzian

Located above the ski resort of Saanenmöser in the Berner Oberland (Switzerland), the Chalet Enzian is ideally positionned at 1400m as the last chalet on a small road leading to only remote farms.

The view from there is gorgeous on the Alps, from Les Diablerets to the Wildhorn (all more than 3000m high).
