More Photos
This luxury Swiss Chalet, built for the owners in 1986 and sleeping eight, situated in Morissen, Canton Grisons, benefits from a south-eastern exposure in the sunlit Val Lumnezia ("Valley of Light") and a near panoramic view of the alpine snow-capped peaks. The Ski Lift stations are 1-mile downhill from the Chalet to which skiers return on easy well-groomed ski paths. Vehicular access on asphalted roads is assured all year. In Summer and Fall, trails to the high peaks are a hiker's and botanist's delight.
