Inger’s 3 bedroom apartment in Rougemont is a perfect apartment for a lovely holiday for a couple, a family or even two or three couples. The living area is spacious, the bedrooms are cheerful and good-sized (especially the upstairs bedroom, which is vast) and the balcony is ideal for sitting outside and sunbathing while looking out over the beautiful mountains with the ski runs and mountain pastures.
The apartment is also perfectly situated. It is just high enough to have a clear view to the mountains but low enough for a quick four-minute walk to the village center which has hotels, restaurants and a nice selection of basic shops (ski equipment, an excellent food shop, a butcher and (most importantly) a fromagerie with wonderful Gruyère and local alpine cheeses. We visited apartments higher up the slope and spent time in the village but we felt Inger’s apartment’s combination of a beautiful view, quiet and proximity to the village was ideal, better than being in the village or higher up.
The house also has a huge fireplace and we enjoyed sitting inside in the evenings reading while the fire crackled.
The dining area is comfortable and the table seats 8 people comfortably. The kitchen is compact but has everything one needs. We ate several meals at home and enjoyed them very much.
The master bedroom upstairs offers plenty of privacy and space, as well as a sitting room with TV. Internet speeds were fine.
The proportions of the apartment are ideal.
The owners and the lady who looks after the apartment were extremely responsive to questions and always replied quickly and efficiently. We arrived at midnight on a Friday night but entry to the apartment was smooth. The apartment building is also quiet and we did not hear any noise from any other apartments during the entire period of our 9-day stay even though this was peak season.
We also liked Rougemont as a village. You can walk to skiing at Rougemont if you like (the Videmanette cable cars take you to the top quickly with a nice 10km run back down to Rougemont (the longest run in the whole area) or you can take the shuttle bus or train to Saanen or Gstaad or other villages. We had rented a car and mostly used the car when going to Gstaad, Saanen, Schönried and Sannenmoser. We also took a nice drive down to Gruyères one day which was a nice adventure to a beautiful village. The Hans Ruedi Giger museum (inspiration for the movie “Alien”) in Gruyères was fascinating and it was interesting to learn about how the world-famous cheese is made.
I would be delighted to rent this apartment again from Inger in either the winter or summer.
