The cosy studio apartment is located in the heart of the Emmental on 1140 m ABS with a view over Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The farmhouse from the year 1850 which was renovated in 2019 lies in a quiet neighbourhoor above the sea of fog. The flat has a seperate entrance and a sheltered terrasse with a view over the Alps. The terrasse, which is alined to the south is shared. Our holiday sutdio is an ideal base for people who love to be outdoors.

And if you are lucky you can even see some chamoises or deer that come to graze just a few meters away from the house.
