Location
This modern, traditionally constructed 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom chalet with 80sq metres of living area in Les Masses, is the perfect location for summer or winter holidays. A delightfully peaceful location in the Swiss canton of Valais, bordering on France and Italy, the chalet offers outstanding views of the Alps (including Dente Blanche and the Matterhorn) and into the valley below. The surrounding area is dotted with villages that are like a trip back in time, with many of the old timber properties dating back over four hundred years.

In summer the well marked network of walking and hiking routes allow one to enjoy the local wildlife, fauna and the delightful scenery of the Swiss mountain countryside.
