Looking for a (catered) chalet in Bernese Oberland
Hi all,
Despite the current lack of snow, I am looking at a one week rent in Bernese Oberland during Christmas and New Year Eve. We will be a group of 5 adults, and 2 young kids.
Since the kids are with us, I was thinking about a chalet, with possible catering. I know such service exists in France but I am less familiar with Swiss offers.
I have searched for that in Wengen but have not yet found.
I know that is quite a last minute query for a busy moment of the year but if you have any address to share, I will appreciate.

If you are not successfull with one of the resorts own Reservation websites (because This is the most demanded Time of Year) I do recommend to Take Interlaken as your base station (free transportation to l/from the 3 Ski regions: Grindelwald-First, Männlichen-Kleine Scheidegg and Mürren-Schilthorn is included with a Ski-Pass of 3 days or more).

Hello Rudi,
Thank you for your post. I will definitely look at Interlaken options.
Let's hope for the snow to fall. Talking about the French Alps where I usually stay, I have rarely seen so little snow at this time of the year.

Let it snow...
A major front hit the Alps this weekend, and most areas will see snowfall throughout the week. You should be fine for Xmas, but you are very late ti get a good booking, and expect a minimum requirement of a one week stay. If you are very flexible and wait until 7-10 days prior you might be able to book just a few nights. Good luck.

Even back in the late 90's I recall trips to the French Alps where snow was dire at New Year. I just think we've been lucky for the last few successive years with heavy falls very early on.
