There are manifold activities to do, whether you visit us in winter or summer. Louis can tell you everything about the sports most popular in our region like skiing, snowshoeing, mountain biking, rafting, paragliding and much much more! Caroline will inform you about other possible journeys to discover the region: you can visit Gruyère, a chocolate or cheese factory, hot springs, several museums, swimming pools. You can also go fishing or minigolfing; there is something for everyone really!

Our kids Max (9) and Igor (5) are happy to share their toys with your kids and you can borrow our bikes if you wish to. In winter, you can also rent snowshoes with us.

On our breakfast buffet you will discover regional delicacies as well as well as home-made surprises from Caroline.

The terrace and all the rooms have a magnificent view on the Prealps. We provide a small living room where you will find books, DVDs and videos, as well as a large dining room where you can prepare your own meals.

In total we are able to accommodate 18 people.
