CHALET CHIC – BRUECKE 49 VALS SWITZERLAND

20 December 2013

Grüezi*, I’ve been dying to write this post for you! Six days to go till Christmas and Brücke 49 in Vals Switzerland comes with the most wonderfully wintery and Christmassy (I’ve decide it’s a word) photography you can imagine. It was hard whittling down the almost 100 photos Mr Schacht, the owner sent me but I hope I’ve done Martin Kaufmann, the Danish photographer proud and selected just the juiciest ones for this post.

As much as I love Christmas a part of me wants to escape and spend the week in a quiet ski resort in the Alps, ideally in a warm, welcoming, modern, clean, stylish chalet with all mod cons and really nice hosts. Et voilà, Mr and Mrs Schacht provide just such a service in the charming resort of Vals in Switzerland. Actually, they call it a home from home and modestly claim Brücke 49 to be a B&B with a difference. Well actually, it’s a luxurious, stylish and understated abode with a personal and relaxed atmosphere judging by the photos.

I adore all the quirky little details like the traditional stag’s head, the old-fashioned china, the felt slippers and I love the custom upholstered chair in various fabrics. The dark grey walls in the entrance area are bang on trend (as discussed previously here) and it all comes together with the sanded floorboards, the animal skin rugs, granite stone slabs on the ground floor and heavy wooden beams. A superb interior design job sensitively combining rustic chalet chic with classic modern lines.

And, no, I’m not just writing this to get an invite. In fact I think Mr Schacht would never be so bold as to toot his own alphorn but I really feel passionately about this beautiful little gem tucked away in the mountains. Let’s hope the not too distant future will bring a trip to Vals for me and the crew.
