We all loved being in this modern, beautifully appointed apartment. It is easily accessible from the train station, the kitchen is really well equipped, and the views are beyond belief!!
More bathroom hooks for towels.

Gorgeous chalet with great views!
I never wanted to leave the Fortuna Chalet. The vaulted ceilings leading to an incredible alpine view, along with the modern kitchen and 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms - our whole family felt so comfortable and woke up every morning delighted by the epic panorama surrounding us. We loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone! The owners obviously take great pride in their property and have done a wonderful job creating a welcoming, beautiful space.
We enjoyed our stay in the Fortuna. Very clean and comfortable and the view was fantastic. It’s in a nice quiet and quaint area but only a few minutes walk from groceries, restaurants, and the train station. Every morning a group of goats with their jingly bells would walk into a field visible from the balcony. Well stocked kitchen. 10/10 would stay again.

Second time in Wengen
This was our second time in Wengen, both times we rented through Wengen Apartments. The other rental agency may be fine, but I would absolutely stick with Julie at Wengen Apartments. The penthouse , besides being a beautiful apartment was spotless and well equipped. To be honest, I wasn’t sure about the modern furniture, but it was actually quite comfortable. The staff all friendly and helpful.
The only thing missing was pot holders or oven mitts.
Otherwise one of the best equipped kitchens we have ever rented.

Thanks for your lovely review, Michael. We're happy to know you had such a great stay! Good to know about the oven mitt/pot holder. We normally have one there, but it must have wandered off. We will replace it immediately.

Beautiful apartment
Lovely apartment, well designed throughout, with a very thorough and useful information folder supplied by the owner to help you find your way around the place. Superb views when the clouds lifted (sadly, not often during our week). Short, relatively flat walk to centre of town. Excellent communication and advice from agent Julie Doyle.
Really needs a handrail down the length of the path from road to chalet - not just where there are steps.

A jewel in Wengen
A lovely three bedroom apartment , conveniently located to Coop and rail station. Beautiful Jungfrau mt. Views. High vaulted ceilings and fireplace , a nice addition. Spacious and beautiful.
No elevator but the steps are gradual.
The reclining chairs seem to be broken on balcony. Many non stick pans were scratched, requested and got one new one. Well appointed unit.

Beautiful and convenient
The Fortuna 4 was everything we hoped for. Beautiful balconies. Large kitchen for 2 chefs. Beds firm and comfortable. Easy, quick walk to Coop and train. Spacious laundry room in building that I wish we had taken advantage of before downsizing to a smaller apt. I am surprised a previous reviewer mentioned lack of a lift because the stairs were such that they were very easy to navigate even with luggage. Highly recommend this apt!!

Special holiday
We had a fantastic holiday in Wengen. It's a very special place. The views from this apartment are brilliant. The location is a short walk from the village centre so you don't hear the bars in the evening, but you are close to everything. The apartment is clean and spacious and there are two generous balconies with fantastic views. We were there in a hot spell in summer and it was easy to keep the flat cool.

Wonderful Christmas
A quick note to thank Julie and the team for helping us experience a magical Christmas week in beautiful Wengen. The apartment is fully fitted with everything an adventurous chef might need and super cosy for a family of 4.
A lift! - only joking.

Tolle Unterkunft an traumhafter Lage
Gut ausgestattete, zentral gelegene Wohnung mit tollem Blick auf die Berge, die wir mit Sicherheit wieder buchen werden.
Für die Nutzung des Cheminées wäre eine detaillierte Gebrauchsanleitung hilfreich.

Lovely flat, perfect location, fantastic view!
The flat was lovely and very tastefully furnished. The floor to ceiling windows in the living room was the best feature, with amazing, unobstructed views of the mountains.
Location was perfect as well, 5 min easy walk from station, supermarket, cable car. Wengen is a charming village with all new developments carefully constructed to maintain the village’s character.
Booking and communication with Julie was absolutely perfect, leaving no doubts or questions unanswered. Really, very well done!

Exceeded our expectations!
Beautiful apartment with spectacular views! Within walking distance of village shops and train station. We stayed for 5 days and wished we had booked it for all 12 days of our stay in Switzerland! It's central location makes it convenient for day trips throughout the country. Wonderful place for those traveling with family or those who dread the confinement of hotel rooms. A modern kitchen outfitted with everything you need for preparing meals and even access to a washer and dryer in the basement of the chalet. Not a good choice for those with limited mobility as it is on the top floor and there isn't an elevator.

Stunning
This is one of the best properties that we have rented over the years. Everything was first class within the apartment itself. The views are stunning. The apartment is in a quiet part of Wengen but it is very easy to access transport, food etc. We did everything by train from the airport to travelling locally and it was so easy, buy a Swiss rail pass though as it saves a lot of money. We bought the flex pass. Would recommend the apartment and area to everyone!

FANTASTIC!
Not sure why there are not more reviews for this spectacular chalet. Maybe all the folks who have stayed there want to keep it a secret? The guest book at the chalet is filled with page after page of glowing reviews -- I added mine to it. No expense was spared in constructing or furnishing this chalet. Sparkling clean, top of the line furniture and kitchen appliances, wonderful linens, incredible views, very comfortable, great location, very quiet, well designed/constructed and laundry in the basement. I can't imagine staying anywhere else. Six of stayed for 4 nights. Plenty of space to not feel on top of one another. Great balconies to sip your morning tea and look out over the alps. I miss being there and can't wait to return.
