About this property
Charming Chalet | Private Indoor Pool & Sauna | Alpine Location | sleeps up to 9
La Taupinere is a very comfortable and well-equipped, private, individual chalet. It has a large balcony facing south to wonderful views of the mountains and alpine meadows. The detached chalet is surrounded by its own garden. La Taupiniere also has a large sauna and private, indoor, 30ft heated swimming pool. The pool room has floor to ceiling glass doors/windows for lovely views onto the garden and mountains. La Taupiniere also has the benefit of excellent wifi internet connection.
The chalet is in a superb and beautiful location for all mountain activities including skiing, mountain biking, walking, golf, para-gliding, tennis or just for relaxing. It is well located for easy access to Lake Leman (Geneva) with its attractive lakeside towns of Vevey, Montreux, Lausanne etc. or the beautiful villages of the White Mountains: Chateau d'Oex, Gstaad, Rougement, or the glacier at Les Diablerets.
The village is surrounded by farms, with cows grazing in summer, producing the milk for the famous Gruyeres Cheese and the truly delicious Cailler chocolate, made and sold in nearby Broc, where you can also visit the factory. It is also possible to visit the Gruyeres Cheese factory and/or surrounding farms to see how the cheese is made.
Gruyeres is a delightful area to spend time, whether active or relaxing. The area is renowned for its beauty and there is plenty to see and do, both summer and winter. Moleson village has a small food store, restaurant, and cafe. The village is popular for skiing, has a friendly tourist office and a ski school.
The rental price includes the use of the chalet for up to 9 adults, and all the bed linen, bath towels and electricity. Swiss tourist tax is extra at CHF2.75 per person, per night.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Sarah Dowding

I now manage the chalet on behalf of my mother, who purchased Chalet La Taupiniere in 1988. We had previously owned another chalet in the village since 1978. So I have grown up holidaying in Moleson and we really love both the chalet and the area.
Why they chose this property
My parents jumped at the chance to buy La Taupiniere as it had the fabulous indoor swimming pool and more space. Unlike most chalets in Moleson the parking is right outside, on flat ground, and there are no steps to the chalet. It is also situated in a very quiet no-through road with just 8 other chalets and there are open fields to the front, so it's very peaceful. As it's been our holiday home for so long, it really is a 'home' - well equipped, nicely furnished and the little touches and details that lift the chalet from being a mere 'soulless rental' to a homely base for your holiday.
What makes this property unique
I love being in a lovely little village in the mountains, yet it is so easy to get into the main town of Bulle and to other places in Switzerland. Compared to many ski chalets that are a long way up a mountain, where it's nigh-on impossible to leave once there, Moleson is really well located. So whether you want more skiing, restaurants, supermarkets, the tourist attractions of Gruyeres and the area, or the larger cities of Fribourg, Bern and Geneva - it's all really easy to access. A really great year-round holiday home.
