This exquisite 6 bedroom chalet is located in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, near Aeschi bei Spiez, at the end of a private lane, 400m from the nearest house. It offers some of the most stunning views in Switzerland.
The spacious living area includes a large, comfortable lounge with breathtaking views on 3 sides, and a fireplace. The entire house was renovated in 2011 and in 2020, and features wifi, 49" flat screen TV, and 3 new bathrooms.
All bedrooms offer spectacular views. Both terraces are south facing, and, with a BBQ, are perfect for al fresco dining both in Summer and in Winter. The large garden backs onto a nature reserve. The chalet is particularly suited for those who like a wide choice of activities, in an exclusive, secluded setting.
Aeschi itself is packed with restaurants and a wide variety of things to do. Cross country skiing and extensive walking paths all pass within meters of the chalet, and some of the best downhill skiing is within a very short drive away.


Close your eyes, imagine The Sound of Music, think of Heidi and Peter, then open them and look out of the windows of Halteweidli ā€“ breath the pure mountain air, and relax! It is not rare to see deer, chamois and other wild animals grazing just under the kitchen window when you get up to make your first cup of coffee.
Walk through the nature reserve, up mountains, or along relatively flat paths, to the waterfall and enjoy a drink and something to eat at a mountain hut, or walk down to Lake Thun to take a steamer ride, or buy some freshly caught fish from the local fisherman.
Summer in Halteweidli is the most exhilarating time ā€“ the chalet is tucked away, half a kilometer from the main road, with breathtaking views from every window, as well as itsā€™ two terraces and large garden.
The chalet is particularly child-friendly with a large split-level playroom-come-bedroom, sledges, board games, puzzles, high chair, etc. It is located right next to the largest Lama and Acapulco herd in Europe (250 animals), and in a village that offers great slopes for beginners and younger skiers.
There are so many things to do, both in the surrounding countryside, but also a bit further afield, that you just won't have time to do them all!
Visit Ballenberg open air museum and itā€™s 250 Swiss farm houses, Interlaken or the Top of Europe Jungfrau train, take a funicular up the Niesen for a spectacular sunset, or visit the caviar farm in Frutigen, or take a pedalo ride on the Blauesee in Kandersteg.
Within one kilometer of the chalet go Western Riding, rent an electric bike, a mountain bike, or go for a carriage ride - or just visit the local pool and it's spa.
The possibilities are endless, but lying on the terrace, far from it all, enjoying the view of the whole of the Kandertal, must be one of the nicest ā€œactivitiesā€ of them all!

In the Winter, you are in the heart of some of the best skiing in the world. Mythical names such as Wengen, Adelboden-Lenk, Kandersteg, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and of course Gstaad are just 30 minutes away. Not to speak of the Jungfrau region. It is ideally located for those who like discovering new slopes every day, whilst enjoying the quality of life of a beautifully secluded spot in an exceptional setting.
Aeschiried itself has 4 lifts for children and beginners, but is really renown for itsā€™ cross country skiing. Over 30km of trails, the main one passing 50m from the front door, offer both spectacular views and the peacefulness of skiing thru a nature reserve.

At Christmas, Halteweidli is in the heart of Aeschiā€™s Weihnachtsweg (Christmas Path), where twelve beautiful crĆØche scenes depicting the Christmas story illuminate a trail through the snow-covered countryside. Warm refreshments reward visitors at the end of the trail on the neighbouring Lama farm.

And of course, after a long day outside, what could be better than to relax in front of the open fire, with a nice glass of wine in your hand, surrounded by friends and family.

Amazing Panorama
The chĆ¢let couldnā€™t be located in a prettier place - the views are amazing! We had a party of ten (8 adults and 2 children), and everyone had enough space. The kids really enjoyed the two-level bedroom with toys and books. A few minutes away is Aeschi, which has local stores as well as Aldi, etc. The property itself has everything you might need, although it might be a good idea, depending on your needs to bring some extra towels and pillows. Communication was excellent, and I would definitely recommend this place !

Amazing location
We had a lovely vacation at Halteweidli. The chalet is located in a beautiful spot in Aeschiried. Itā€™s quiet, right on hiking paths and has incredible views. The chalet itself has plenty of space- we had 15 people sleeping in the chalet at one point and all felt very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and overall the house was perfect for our needs. The owners were responsive and helpful. We look forward to another stay!

Amazing place
A fantastic and spacious property that is right on winter walkways and criss country ski/ mountain bike trails. The views are gorgeous of the mountains around. The house has everything we needed including a lovely fire in the evening. It was snowy when we were there and the world was totally white all around. Itā€™s in the country but only a few minutes drive to nearest shop. The owner is incredibly nice and everyone who skied by envied the property. It was an unforgettable week! Could easily host 10 people a perfect retreat. I couldnā€™t recommend more.

Quiet Retreat - Everything You Need
The chalet was exactly as described in the listing. A great retreat for a quiet week away with the dog, yet close enough to many sites (15-30 minutes drive). Access to hiking from the front door was a huge bonus. The kitchen was better equipped than any rental I've ever had! Only 1 suggestion, towels are provided, but if you like to use more than one or like a big bath towel, you should bring a few extras from home. The owners were very friendly and helpful with tips for the area and quick to reply to any questions. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet retreat, who loves hiking and great views and a cozy fire at night.

Beautiful, mountain chalet with breathtaking views
We are a family of 5 (2 adults, 2 teenagers and an 8 year old) and had a lovely stay in Halteweidli. The chalet was clean, well-equipped, spacious and nicely furnished. I particularly liked the parquet wooden floors and large windows. The mountain and valley views from the chalet were spectacular and there were some great walks from the front door. We spotted plenty of wildlife in the garden and surrounding meadows - deer, foxes, eagles and something that looked a lot like a weasel. While the chalet is secluded and peaceful, two nearby villages with restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Halteweidli was also a good base for trips to the best of the Bernese Oberland - including the two large lakes either side of Interlaken (Thunnersee and Briensee), Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and the nearby high mountain peaks (Eiger, Jungfrau, First and Monch). All in all, it was the perfect escape. Toby

Awsome Location
We enjoyed our stay at the property with a family of 15 persons. It is located at awsome hill and has excellent surroundings of grass fields and natural landsacpe. Only the problem is its connectivity with Local bus and timing of local transport as the last bus from the nearest train station, Spiez is at 7;30 pm and you have to catch it anyhow as no other transportation is available. But the property is great value for money and it has all the amenities and utensils for a big family. We enjoyed a lot there. There was some communication problem with the owner and some check in problem but the overall it was good experience.

Perfektes Chalet
Das Chalet Halteweidli hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Lage ist super: Beim Chalet fĆ¼hlt man sich fast schon einsam mit einer wunderschƶnen Aussicht auf das Kandertal und trotzdem ist man in wenigen Minuten in Spiez (daher auch mit Zug und Bus gut erreichbar). HƤtte es mehr Schnee gehabt hƤtte man auch praktisch direkt vor dem Haus Schlitteln, Langlaufen, Schneeschnuhwandern oder sogar Ski- oder Snowboardfahren kƶnnen. Das Wandern und spazieren war zwar nicht geplant aber auch sehr schƶn. Das Chalet ist zudem top ausgestattet und bietet viel Platz. Wir wĆ¼rden es sofort wieder mieten.

Ein sehr tolles Haus in einer traumhaften Lage. Wandertouren starten direkt am Haus und die Aussicht ist unbezahlbar. Minuspunkte gibt es bei der Instandhaltung des Hauses.
