The place was ready and door was open when we arrived since we came at night. Kristyna came a bit later to introduce herself and asked if we needed anything extra, which was nice. She also came by another night to explain to us some hiking trails, and other towns nearby to visit, such as Gruyeres (where the Giger Museum is- must see!), Lavaux, and other lovely towns. She is very sweet and we had a very lovely chat. The place itself is very cozy, and the view from the balcony is amazing. Les Avants is a very beautiful town, and worth exploring. There are no grocery stores around, so you will have to take the train to Montreax, which can get quite expensive if you don't have a car.

You can also walk to Montreax through the most beautiful forest ever, which takes about an 2 hours. Another must is to hike to Dent De Jamon! You can see it from the town, and the views during the hike are absolutely stunning.

During Christmas, don't miss the Christmas markets in Montreax!!
