translated from German
The chalet is beautiful. Very well placed for skiers or those who prefer to go to Pralong for snowshoeing.
Just two drawbacks, probably temporary:
The temperature of the chalet (the outside temperatures were clementes) was, due to works, not adjustable and very high. We had to open the windows to sleep.
The upper stairs (the lower ones were unavailable) are difficult to use for people of uncertain mobility if it has snowed. This can get tricky. It is imperative in this case to bring crampons to ensure a safe ascent and descent.
Der Zugang zum Chalet ist nicht barrierefrei, mit Kinderwagen oder Rollstuhl nicht zu erreichen. Es gibt z.Zt. mehr oder weniger einen Trampelpfad oder eine relativ steile Treppe.
Für die Ski sollte man ein Depot am Sessellift mieten.
