Holiday apartment near Adelboden in the Bernese Oberland

Getting there

By car

From Elsigbach drive along the old Adelboden road. After about 1.1 kilometers there is a holiday home to the left with blue window shutters and a prominent concrete car port. Turn steep left immediately in front of this house and after about 130 meters turn left again.

Our two parking spaces are located here, about 40 meters in front of our neighbor's farm house (Marmet family). From there you can get to the holiday apartment on foot in a few minutes (approximately 300 m).

Further details can be seen on Google Maps.

General information

Heating

The entire house is heated by a wood-burning oven centrally located in the living area. Wood is stored in front of the house. When heating, the ventilation in the balcony door must be open both inside and outside. If the fire is still not burning properly, pivot one of the hopper windows.

Electric ovens with thermostats are installed in the bathrooms as well as in the drying room in the cellar. They can be regulated according to your needs. The electric ovens must always be turned on at a minimum level in the winter. If the temperature is below freezing, the bathroom windows should only be opened for short periods—the mixer tap is very sensitive.

Please be careful with flames and candles!

Bed linen

Please bring your own bed linen and sleeping bags. Each bed is equipped with a mattress cover, a fitted sheet and a pillow with case (60 × 100 cm) and a duvet without a case (160 × 200 cm). Please use your own bed linen and leave our bed linen on the bed when you leave. Upon request you may use the bed linen belonging to the chalet for an additional CHF 10.— per bed (for your entire stay). Please let us know in advance.

Dimensions of double beds: 160 × 200 cm and 140 × 200 cm.

Inventory

There is sugar and salt, otherwise there are no provisions in the kitchen. You can buy your groceries at the store in Achseten or in Adelboden. There are matches, candles and fire-proof glasses and coasters available. Please replace used candles and matches.

Cleaning utensils

Cleaning utensils for the kitchen are in the closet to the right of the sink. Since the chalet has its own sewage system, we only use biologically degradable dishwashing detergent which is at your disposal. Furthermore, we will provide you with white, color-free toilet paper as well as garbage bags.

There is a washing machine but no dish washer. You will find a vacuum cleaner, garbage bags and other cleaning utensils in the first closet in the kitchen corridor.

Garbage, compost, ashes

Please bring your garbage bags—with a valid sticker on them!—to the collection site in Elsigbach. The stickers are available at the grocery store in Achseten.

Place your compost in the container at the farm house Marmet.

Place ashes in the designated metal container in the port in front of the house.

General rules

Please take care of and respect this wonderful place!

Please do not enter the apartment without house shoes!

The entire house is a no-smoking area; pets are not allowed!

Among other items there are a few tools, two sleds as well as a grill at your disposal in the cellar.

Tourist tax

Registration forms for the tourist tax are next to the desk. You can bring Mrs. Marmet the filled out forms and pay her the amount due. The pink copy is your receipt. If she is not there, you can pay the tax directly at the Frutigen tourist center on the main street next to Denner. You can also leave the papers and the money in the cash box next to the registration forms.

Departure

Please leave the chalet clean (vacuum cleaner) and tidy. If not agreed upon otherwise, we will take care of cleaning the oven and the final cleaning of the chalet.
