The accommodation:
Beautiful picture book chalet in the sunny Upper Valais Alps (Goms) in the mountain village of Bellwald at 1600 metres above sea level.
Close to the mill there is a beautiful ski area (1700m to 2560m above sea level) of the Bellwald Sportbahnen A.G. which is almost snow-sure (artificial snow) and can be reached on foot in 15 minutes uphill. For those who prefer to be driven, there are two ski bus stops down the slope on the village road; Restaurant Bellwald (20 seconds away) and Restaurant Pöstli.
The bus fare (sports bus) is included in the ski ticket.
The Aletsch Arena, Belalp, Zermatt, Crans-Montana and Saas-Fee ski areas are also within easy reach for day trips...
You can also go sledging on part of the Bellwald Sportbahnen ski slope (you can bring your own or hire one on site) and take the chairlift up in comfort.
There are also very interesting leisure activities on offer in summer. (More details below)
The chalet "Zur Alten Mühle" was built in 1940.
It was first used as a grain water mill. In the late 1940s and 1950s, it was completely converted into a residential property for the first time.
At that time it was still far away from the village centre. Today it stands in the centre of Bellwald. The village supermarket Volg with bread/baked goods sales from Imwinkelried (regional), bakery, Raiffeisen bank, post office (Volg) and the Bellwald-Fürgangen cable car station are each 5 minutes' walk away.
The mill is a paradise for book lovers (see photos; bookshelves)! Here you will find peace and cosiness for your books.
In winter, the crackling of the wood-burning stove creates the perfect atmosphere.
You won't find a television here. The fear and anxiety of the TV channels and the Muggle press and the negative feelings associated with them stay outside!
Instead, there is Internet via WLAN (WiFi)
Almost everyone has their laptop and DVD's, smartphone or tablet with them...
I wish you a wonderful stay at the Mühle!
Access for guests:
Completely independent flat with its own front door and terrace.
Laundry via my washing machine upstairs.
Other important information:
The total price includes the tourist tax and guest card.
(the owner of the building pays a standard tourist tax for his guests in Bellwald each year IN ADVANCE)
Here you will be: Bellwald, Valais, Switzerland
Bellwald is an idyllic mountain village with beautiful nature and mountain panorama, just right for resting, relaxing and recharging your batteries.
Bellwald and the region offer a wide range of leisure and recreational activities.
Up-to-date information, flyers and suggestions can be found at the Bellwald tourist office and on the Internet.
Numerous restaurants and bars invite you to stop for a bite to eat.
For party lovers, there are usually a few events in the bars, in the village and on New Year's Eve during the winter season.
There are many other ski resorts within a day trip (see above). Just one stop away from Bellwald-Fürgangen on the M.G.B Fiesch is the first access point to the Aletsch Arena with the aerial cableway to Fiescheralp.
Outside the winter season you can go hiking. But even with snow, a walk through a peaceful snow-covered enchanted forest followed by a stop at a restaurant is a lovely activity.
In summer, you can take the chairlift up to Bellwald Sportbahnen with scooters and mountain cars and then whizz down...
For mountain bikers there is the Bellwald Sportbahnen Bike Park!
Start at 2040m finish at 1650m, length 2200 to 3000m.
The record is 3.20 minutes!
For hikers, the Gommer Höhenweg and the Rotten(Rhône)Weg are beautiful activities.
Here is an extract from the Gommer Höhenweg brochure of the Furka Oberalp Bahn (now M.G.B.):
The Goms, the uppermost part of the Rhone Valley with its pretty villages, hidden art treasures and harmonious landscape, invites you to enjoy a leisurely hike. The Goms High Trail offers views of tanned villages, dreamy hamlets and the young Rhone, which runs through the valley like a silver ribbon. To the east is the Galenstock with its glistening firn, to the west the pyramid of the Weisshorn.
The Rotten Trail follows the young Rotten (the name of the Rhone in Upper Valais) on the left side of the valley from Oberwald to Ernen. Flower-filled meadows alternate with shady forests. The charm of this trail lies in the opportunity to visit the quaint Valais villages with their beautiful churches. The Rottenweg has hardly any inclines and is well laid out throughout, making it suitable for hikers and walkers who are not used to the mountains.
Hiking made to measure. The Gommer Höhenweg and Rottenweg lead in short stages to the individual villages with their railway stations on the Furka-Oberalp Railway (now the M.G.B.). You can therefore easily change the programme during the hike and shorten or lengthen the tour...
On the way around the accommodation:
By train:

By car:
Bellwald is easily accessible by road at any time of year. In winter there is a very good snow clearing service.

Attention: only open when snow-free, i.e. ~May to ~October. The Furka Pass can also be closed spontaneously due to snowfall all year round.
Attention: Although the passes are very well developed, they are also very winding roads.
There are plenty of free car parks in Bellwald. There is a car park at the entrance to Bellwald and a large car park below the cable car station in the centre of Bellwald (for 80 cars).

ALWAYS treat the mill (chalet) and its inventory with respect and consideration! The tenant pays for any damage caused !
