Airbnb
“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.”

“Fantastic location, very, very nicely furnished cottage with magnificent views of the mountains. Everything is as described in the advertisement. The contact with Laurent was super nice, and Laurent is very, very helpful! I'm sure we'll be happy to come back.”

“Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans ce mayen à Sarreyer. Le logement est très bien équipé, il y a tout ce qu'il faut et il est situé dans un endroit paisible avec une magnifique vue sur la vallée. Les instructions étaient très claires et la communication avec Laurent également. Nous y retournerons !”

“We had a great weekend with the family at the chalet. It is isolated but the instructions were clear and the host available. We highly recommend!”
Airbnb
“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.”

“Lovely location, calm and authentic. Magnificent view of the Combins and other valley peaks ✨ The electrical system works perfectly, the wood stove heats very well and immediately creates a cozy atmosphere 😉 We'll very likely come back.”

“What a unique location... literally on the side of a mountain with a view of the surrounding beauty. Such a perfect spot for our family with 2 young adult kids.”
Airbnb
“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.”
Airbnb
“We had a lovely time in this beautiful mountain chalet! The chalet is very cozy and the views are spectacular. Comms with Laurent has been very pleasant and timely and you can tell that both hosts care deeply about guests in their home. The ride up to the chalet requires some nerves haha, but nothing to be worried about.”
Airbnb
“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!”
Lausanne, Switzerland
“From the already heated interior arranged before our arrival, to the late departure made possible when asked, our hosts always did more than expected to ensure a smooth and exciting week-end. The cottage was one of the best out there. Merci encore :) hoping to come back soon”
Fairfax, California
“This is amazing old-style cabin with unavailable views and near breathtaking hikes and cute small old towns. Laurent was super helpful when needed. Overall, a fantastic experience and we hope to come back in the future.”
“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 !”
“Un véritable petit coin de paradis au cœur du Val de Bagnes ! Le chalet est plein de charme, cosy, décoré avec goût et parfaitement équipé. La vue est tout simplement à couper le souffle. Petit énorme plus pour les amateurs de trail : d'innombrables magnifiques sentiers directement accessibles depuis le chalet. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter !”
“Superbe chalet implanté en pleine nature alpine du Val de Bagnes. Ce mayen a gardé tout son charme authentique tout en offrant un grand niveau de confort. La terrasse est très agréable et présente une vue imprenable sur le Combin.”
“J'ai eu la chance de séjourner plusieurs fois au Gypaète. C'est un fabuleux petit chalet d'alpage rénové avec beaucoup de goût et très confortable. La vue depuis la terrasse est spectaculaire et l'accès assez facile. La déconnexion est totale.”
“Ce mayen alpin est une perle rare dans le Val de Bagnes : authentique, chaleureux et d'un charme fou. La situation géographique est idéale : accès facile à Verbier et à toutes ses infrastructures, tout en profitant d'un calme absolu. Un équilibre parfait.”
"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."
