Summary: The location is very nice, chalet itself also in good condition. What is missing are utensils like soap, dishwashing fuid, kitchen towels or salt. When travelling for a couple of days, one would expect not to bring stuff like this with them. Also the fees for bed sheets and towels are very high.

Summary: We were in Grimentz for 2 nights to celebrate my birthday and go hikking. It was a perfect weekend. The house and the area is really nice. Also the host was super nice. We can recommend it and will definitely come back.

Summary: We loved our week in Grimentz at this beautiful authentic chalet. It was so wRm with floor heat all over and very cosy around the woodstove. Our communications with Alinand Dave were great, although it would be advisable to arrive at the chalet before dark the first day! The driveway is just a little narrow at the beginning but opens up to a very large parking area. We have a long vw van and it was fine! The liberty pass for the gondolas is really nice. The kitchen is well equipped.

Summary: Two families stayed here in September. We loved our stay and the place. The deck and views were amazing. It was the highest place in Grimentz but getting to town was pretty easy by following the trail down the mountain. The chalet was laid out well and it had everything we needed. We would certainly stay here again, winter or summer!

Summary: Ali & Dave were excellent hosts! We arrived by bus with no car to reach the chalet and Ali was kind enough to drive half of our group up and get them settled. The walk up for the rest of us was fairly strenuous, but very doable even with groceries in tow. Ali and Dave were also kind enough to bring back some toilet paper, as we didn't realize we would need to provide our own. We stayed in the summer, and the hikes were beautiful and lifts up the mountains were still taking people up to see the views and hike back down for a very reasonable price. The kitchen is well equipped. Wifi worked for us - we mostly used it for sharing pictures amongst each other and searching for food and activities. If you want to use it for anything more important it might prove frustrating.... but just look out the window instead. We had 4 adult couples and there was plenty of room and bathroom space for all of us. We would highly recommend staying here! PS if you get a clear night don't forget to look up at the stars! I would also recommend getting up for the sunrise if there are any clouds around to catch the colors. Both are stunning!

Summary: Very cosy chalet with stunning views. Comfortable for up to 10 people. The BBQ is a nice addition as well. The location is good, you still need a car to get to the village though.

Summary: What a fantastic place. As I ascended from the village and looked back, I felt like I was in a remake of that classic movie 'Where Eagles Dare'. Whether you ski these amazing mountains (in winter), hike them (in summer), or merely come to sit and read books in utter tranquillity with spectacular views across the valley, 'Haut Cinq' is the best Chalet I have ever stayed in. In my long stay here at the end of last season, I was fortunate enough to get the best of both worlds. And for those of you that are amateur astronomers, pack your telescope. The lack of air pollution and the lack of light pollution, give a view of the night sky that will inspire children and adults alike. I arrived a tired, over worked, hedge fund employee. I left refreshed, and with better perspective on what matters in life. Oh, and for those concerned with practical matters, it was well equipped and spotlessly presented. Everything I needed was there. I note a comment below about it having a small TV. If you come to a place with views as awe inspiring as this, and want to sit and watch TV... shame on you. I will be back. There are so many more runs down the mountain, and walks up them, to be explored.
