House/Residence
This beautiful and spacious chalet is set against a tranquil wood in the Arvenbüel above Amden at 1,200 m (3,937 feet) above sea level. The name Graggänescht ("crows' nest) refers to the fact that the crows return to the grove of trees behind the house each night to sleep. The house offers space for up to 8 people and is perfect for summer and winter vacations. The ski slopes, toboggan runs, snowshoe trails, and winter hiking trails are just outside the front door. The house is also good starting point for hikes and excursions around the region in summer. There are shops and an indoor pool nearby in the village of Amden. Various restaurants are also within walking distance of the house. Two bus stops (Arvenbüel/Oberen and Arvenbüel/Arven) are also within easy walking distance. A free parking space is also available. Amden is in eastern Switzerland on the northern side of the Walensee. The village offers a magnificent mountain backdrop, but is only about one hour's drive from the centres of Zurich, St. Gallen, and Chur. The diverse regions of Glarus, Heidiland, Grisons, and Zurich with Lake Zurich are all very quickly and easily reached by bus, train, or car. In winter, the popular family ski resort and renowned ski school in Amden is a major draw. In spring, summer, and autumn, the lake and the mountains provide a wonderful contrast and provide a variety of offerings.
