Switzerland villas
A private chalet or lakeside house for the summer: walks, lakes, mountain trains and empty valleys.
A Swiss house in summer is one of the Alps' best-kept secrets: chalets that cost half their winter price, lakes warm enough to swim in, trails from the door and trains that make a car unnecessary. It suits families and groups who want to be active together.
Tell us the size of the party and the dates. We shortlist houses by valley, view and how far the trail starts from the door.
Where we go
Chalets in Verbier, Zermatt or the Engadin, or a house on Lake Geneva, Lake Lucerne or Lake Thun. The Bernese Oberland for the Jungfrau railway and the lakes; the Engadin for space and light.
How the week runs
A walk or a mountain train in the morning, a swim or a long lunch after, an afternoon at the house. A guide for a glacier day, bikes for the valley, a boat on the lake. A cook can be arranged for some evenings.
Who it suits and when
Families, walkers and multi-generational parties who want mountains without the ski-week logistics. Late June to mid-September; September is quiet and clear.
- Best time
- January to March for snow. December for the atmosphere. Summer for walking and lakes.

Questions about villas in Switzerland
Do we need a car?
No. The Swiss rail and cable-car network reaches almost everything; a private transfer from the airport is all most parties need.
Is there a planning fee?
No. The first conversation and the proposal are free. You pay when you accept the plan.
Is this a live booking?
No. It is a starting point. A specialist writes a private proposal and availability is confirmed then.
