A vacation rental made for gathering
Whether you're four friends on a hiking trip or a small family group exploring Central Switzerland, Chalet Oz gives you what you need: comfortable beds after long days, a kitchen for cooking together, and a balcony where everyone wants to linger.
The twin bedroom and master bedroom mean flexible sleeping arrangements. The dining table seats four easily. In summer, the fenced back garden with BBQ becomes your outdoor dining room.
This is your proper base for mountain days and shared evenings — not a cramped apartment where you're tripping over each other.

Very comfortable and a good location
This residence is very comfortable and has a good location. It is only about 200 meters away from the mountaineering railway station in Mt. Rigi Mountain, and you can walk directly to it. You can see the lake in the room, and the sunset in the afternoon is so beautiful. The host is very nice and the communication is smooth. They also left a welcome gift when you check in. I highly recommend you to choose it.

Would definitely come back, 10/10
Quite a quick drive to Luzern. Vitznau was peaceful and beautiful. Karen, the host, was very friendly and responsive. The place was structurally beautiful and nice, with a comfortable space. I would definitely come back, 10/10.

Summer BBQ and outdoor dining The fenced back garden has a BBQ and outdoor seating. Perfect for grilling after a long hike, sharing meals on those lovely mild evenings, or evening drinks in the mountain air.
Space to gather and separate Living area with lake views for morning coffee and evening wine. Balcony where you'll all end up at sunset. Two bedrooms for splitting up however works best. No one feels cramped, no one feels isolated.
