The secluded mountain cabin, like the house by the sea, is one of our dream destinations. We associate it with a life in and with nature, away from the burdens and hardships of everyday life.

On our journey high into the mountains, we'll introduce you to some of these extraordinary places: mountain chalets in idyllic locations and their interiors. These houses can never be viewed in isolation from their surroundings, as nature and the landscape lend the buildings a unique character. It's this intense dialogue between the living space and the dramatic mountain scenery that makes the chalet such an exciting house category.

Oversized, fully glazed window fronts are a characteristic feature of Alpine architecture today. Above all, the views—into dreamy snowy landscapes or into the wild outdoors —connect the houses to their surroundings. This volume showcases chalets whose panoramas appear so unrealistically beautiful, as if painted by an artist. The interior design of the mountain hut also bears a direct relationship to its surroundings. Materials of regional origin are frequently used, such as animal skins, loden, leather, natural stone, and solid wood. In addition to traditional styles, the high altitudes also offer the luxury, wellness, and design we expect from upscale living.
