Warm spring sunshine melts the snow into this enchanting stream

Spring

As the snows melt the mountains become green and floral surprisingly quickly. The carpets of crocus and narcissus are quite extraordinary.

The local Herens cows are taken up to the alpine meadows in May to feast on the rich grass and wild flowers.

The melt waters provide dramatic waterfalls and babbling brooks.

Have the mountains to yourselves during these quieter months of May and June before the lifts open again for the summer visitors.
Share the mountains with just the locals – chamois, ibex, marmots, hares, birds……

At this time of year the chalet can be booked on a half board or B&B
