“Un petit chalet très bien agencé, avec une vue panoramique sur la montagne. On est à la fois loin de tout, dans un silence majestueux et proche des commodités et multiples activités de la région. Nous reviendrons.”

“We had a wonderful stay. The chalet is located in a truly picturesque and peaceful setting, surrounded by nature and offering breathtaking views of the Grand Combin. The air is incredibly fresh, making it the perfect place to unwind and disconnect. The location is quite secluded, so having a car is essential. Verbier village is only about a 10–15 minute drive away, making it easy to enjoy the resort while returning to the tranquility of the mountains. If you're looking for postcard-worthy scenery, absolute peace and quiet, and an authentic alpine experience away from the crowds, this is a fantastic place to stay. We would happily come back.”

“A cosy, welcoming mayen, with breathtaking mountain views from every window. I have never stayed in such a well equipped holiday place. Each time any of us thought we needed anything or wished that we had remembered to bring something we discovered it was already there and easy to find. Laurent and Helen are perfect hosts and always available to help. It was a beautiful place to stay and I hope to go back soon.”

“Nothing to say since we return with the same pleasure as those who discover a beautiful place. In addition, we had a visit from a pretty fox in the evening at the fountain on the path that did not run away and the doe with her newborn trembling on her little legs! What could be better than Peace?”

“We had a wonderful stay at Laurent's and appreciated the peace and beauty of the mountains. The terrace overlooking the mountains was fantastic. We had a lovely hike (and came across deer) and also went snowboarding (20 minutes by car to the lift with free parking when buying a ski pass). The fireplace was particularly comfortable. The kitchen was also very well equipped (coffee, raclette machine...). In short, we had a fantastic stay.”

“Amazing nature stay with amazing views. We were very happy and very lucky to be able to spend a weekend in this very nice place. The accommodation is simple but very well arranged and equipped. We were able to take advantage of it for cross-country skiing and downhill skiing. Laurent is very welcoming and responsive, and did everything to make our stay enjoyable (like starting the stove before our arrival). Thanks again!”

“Super séjour au Gypaète ! Nous étions là pour faire de la peau de phoque et c'était le point de départ parfait pour de très belles sorties. Pouvoir partir directement du chalet est un vrai plus. Le mayen est plein de charme, authentique, chaleureux et très confortable. L'emplacement est vraiment top : tout près de Verbier, mais au calme, avec une vue magnifique sur le massif du Grand Combin. Une super adresse que l'on recommande sans hésiter !”

The Living Mayens of Sarreyer

"Le Gypaète, a restored mayen in the area, sleeps six with a view over 4,000-metre peaks. Only 10-15 minutes from Verbier and yet it feels like a world away."
