Chalet Protea is the perfect example of the ideal chalet experience in Switzerland. From the arrival, check-in, property, surrounding area, everything was perfect. The property is the epitome of clean, stylish, and simple Swiss design. The rooms are well-appointed, cozy, simple and elegant. Everything we could possibly need or ask for is provided on-premises and then some. We were provided with a lovely bedroom, bathroom, kitchen/dining room, and living room with all the amenities one could expect from each. This is the type of place I could easily live in exactly as it comes as my primary residence. It is abundantly clear the owners put a lot of care and planning into the property and offerings and carefully considered how a guest might want to utilize it during their stay. We wanted for nothing. We struggled to leave. It was a magical place. The surrounding grounds and town are a place of pure natural beauty and magic. The views from the rooms and back yard are stunning. The town and surrounding area are very quiet and relaxing. If we had more time we'd have happily spent several days just enjoying the grounds and views. Arrival and departure from Wengen was simple and the very small time investment traveling to/from the town is so minimal the benefits of staying at a place like this far outweigh the minor added time cost. Chalet Protea is truly a magical place and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in staying in or near Wengen/Lauterbrunnen area. We have stayed at countless properties across the world spanning over 25+ countries and Chalet Protea is easily one of my all-time favorites.

A very well decorated and clean apartment only 590mt downhill from train station . Yes there is a hill to walk up to station but amazing views and large private garden make up for that. Very friendly hosts and great base.

Event though the distance would be considered reasonable, the steep upslope at its elevation to get to the train station every day is tough for most people. Taxi ride to and from the train station will be around 25 euros each way for the short distance. I managed without the taxi as I have to stop to take so many pictures every day on the same route out and back, it helped mentally and physically.

The scenery around the location and the views on the train ride every day in and out of Wengen from Lauterbrunnen. It added some 15 to 20 minutes total travel time each way but is totally worth it. We have a private section of a much bigger multi-level house. It's bright and clean and well designed with good quality and plenty of storage for clothing. The backyard has a view of the Lauterbrunnen Valley and the peaks around it.

A plusher bathroom towel would elevate the comfort of the stay. Personally I would have liked a firmer pillow. Do not let these minor things stop you from booking here!

The apartment was clean, spacious, and well equipped. There is a large outside area with grass, a covered porch, and lots of seating, with a great view. The kitchen had everything we needed to eat in a few times during our stay. Ruth was friendly and ensured we were enjoying our stay. It is in a great, quiet location, and we felt right at home.

The bed was a bit too firm for my personal preference, but we were so busy during the day that I still slept well.

A quiet, private space with a nice yard. The chalet provided an amazing view of the Lauterbrunnen valley. The host was very friendly and accommodating. The location of the chalet was easily accessible to the train despite the moderate incline we walked up each day to the station.

The only single complaint is the walk back up to the train station is steep. If you are mobility impaired, it might be difficult.

Better even than the pictures! Extremely clean, spacious for 2, excellent kitchen, AMAZING views, comfortable bed, massive book with all the local recommendations, and paid laundry available if needed. Value for money was 10/10 here!

It’s a 10 minute walk uphill from the apartment to the train station.

Everything. Well appointed 1-bedroom apartment with full kitchen. Fabulous views from the windows and lots of outdoor lawn furniture. Receptive host. Great value.

The walk from the chalet to the Wengen train station can be challenging with luggage as it's an uphill.

The views!! The views from the terrace garden were breathtaking!

Nothing - it was perfect for us.

The amazing views of the mountains and nearby waterfalls from Chalet Protea were such a highlight. Our hosts were lovely and welcoming, and the place was perfect for our time in Wengen. It was very easy to feel at home and the chalet was well stocked with cooking utensils, oil/seasonings, etc. to allow for home-cooked meals as well. We were able to complete a load of laundry (with dryer) for 5 euros which was convenient too. We wished we could stay longer and we would love to come back, and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a memorable stay in the Jungfrau region.

Not much - very good all round!

Plenty of room with a decent sized and well equipped kitchen to cook meals, and the views of the surrounding mountains and Lauterbrunnen valley were incredible. Was also very warm and quiet, so easy to relax if cold outside and get a good night's sleep.

Wengen is on the side of the valley so many properties and hotels involve a walk up hill or down hill into town or back home. The walk from Protea into town is quite steep in places, all uphill and takes 10 to 15 minutes. Coming home is much easier!

The hosts at this property are very friendly and helpful. The apartment is completely spotless, warm and comfortable, with excellent amenities and equipment provided. The views down the valley from the terrace are amazing.

The uphill distance with luggage was challenging. Need a taxi.

Clean, comfortable, quality decor and furnitures. All great. Ruth was super friendly..from booking to seeing us off.

The hosts, Ruth and George, are very friendly and helpful. The apartment was quiet and had everything we needed, and was surrounded by wonderful views. It was fine for us, but Wengen is on a slope so moving around requires walking up and down hills! It can be a bit of an ‘adventure’ with suitcases.
