Chalet Mannenberg in Zweisimmen

Historic Luxury Chalet in the Gstaad Region – A Private Alpine Residence near Zweisimmen

Set in a sunny, slightly elevated position in the Upper Simmental, just 15 minutes from Gstaad, this exceptional historic alpine residence offers a rare combination of heritage, privacy and contemporary comfort. The chalet lies below the ruins of Unterer Mannenberg, on a site that has formed part of the alpine cultural landscape for centuries — south-facing, quietly set back and open to wide mountain views.

Originally built 1700, the residence was carefully restored between 2020 and 2023 with a deep respect for its history. Original beams and defining architectural elements were preserved and reintegrated, while modern technology and refined comfort were introduced with quiet restraint. The result is a home of genuine character: warm, clear, beautifully crafted and shaped by a calm alpine elegance.

With approximately 280 m² of living space, the chalet offers four double bedrooms, three bathrooms and generous living areas designed for both shared moments and private retreat. Natural timber, soft light, balanced proportions and framed views of the surrounding mountains define the interior atmosphere. The main living space centres around a fireplace, creating an inviting heart to the home, while historic details such as the preserved smoke kitchen add depth and authenticity.

The 2,063 m² private plot is slightly elevated, south-facing and wonderfully sheltered. The surroundings are peaceful and close to nature, shaped by meadows, mountain views and alpine wildlife, including chamois, foxes, grazing cattle and birds of prey. Gstaad, Saanenmöser, Zweisimmen and Lenk are all within easy reach, offering year-round possibilities — from skiing, hiking and mountain restaurants to wellness, boutiques, culture and the distinctive lifestyle of the Saanenland.

This historic luxury chalet in the Gstaad Region is ideal for guests who wish to experience the Swiss Alps in an authentic, private and beautifully protected setting — a home for those who appreciate history, nature, craftsmanship and the quiet luxury of true alpine privacy.
