History

Information about Chalet Wättertanne can be found here…

1957

The Chalet Wättertanne was built in 1956 in Adelboden Ausserschwand according to plans by master builder Abraham Burn.

In 1957, it was furnished with great pleasure by the house owner Mrs. Gertrud Aebi-Hoffmann.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Aebi was not able to enjoy it for long, as she died shortly afterwards.

After that, Mr. Albert Aebi and his sister-in-law Mrs. Käthi Ellenberger successfully continued to rent out the holiday apartments at Chalet Wättertanne until 1978.

1978

In 1978, Mr. Aebi sold the chalet to his nephew Charles Klopfenstein.

Together with his wife Gertrud, Charles Klopfenstein has enthusiastically taken over the holiday apartment rental business.

In the following 21 years, Charly completed some necessary renovations to the chalet:

A new garage with forecourt
Replaced the old balcony with a larger and sturdier one
The corner of the ground floor flat was extended
Redesign of the access path

2001

Charles Klopfenstein died unexpectedly on 5 November 2001, fully committed to tourism in Adelboden and leading the rental business with great enthusiasm. He has left a big gap.

Gertrud Klopfenstein and her son Niels Klopfenstein have now taken over the holiday home rental business.
Continuously, the two do their utmost to ensure that the guests have a well-kept house at their disposal and that they have unforgettable memories.
