When people search for a Swiss Alps vacation rental, they’re often imagining crisp mountain air, easy access to hiking and lake views, and a place that feels personal rather than hotel-like. Central Switzerland offers all of that, especially around Lake Lucerne, where alpine peaks rise straight from the water and villages still feel wonderfully local.
Chalet Oz is located in Vitznau, a lakeside village that sits right at the gateway to some of Switzerland’s most iconic alpine destinations. Instead of staying high up or far out, guests stay central, flexible, and well connected, while still enjoying the calm of a true Swiss village.
One of the biggest advantages of choosing a Swiss Alps vacation rental near Lake Lucerne is location. From Chalet Oz, guests have quick and scenic access to:
Mt Rigi, known as the “Queen of the Mountains”, with hiking, panoramic viewpoints and thermal spas
Mt Pilatus, famous for its dramatic ridgelines and cable car routes
Mt Titlis, offering year-round snow and glacier experiences
Engelberg, Andermatt and other alpine regions perfect for day trips
Rather than relocating every few nights, Chalet Oz works as a comfortable base to explore multiple alpine regions while returning each evening to the lake.
Unlike traditional hotels or serviced apartments, Chalet Oz is a modern Swiss chalet designed for real stays. Guests have space to settle in, cook meals, enjoy slow mornings, and spend time together after a day outdoors.
The chalet includes two bedrooms, a bright living space, a fully equipped kitchen, balcony views of Lake Lucerne, and a private garden. It’s ideal for families, couples, small groups, or anyone looking for a relaxed alpine stay with more freedom than a hotel room offers.

After hiking Mt Rigi, exploring alpine villages or taking a boat to Lucerne, many guests choose to unwind on site. Chalet Oz guests can book access to the private Harmony Wellness area next door, which includes a sauna, hot tub and quiet relaxation room.
This combination of alpine adventure and private wellness is something that’s hard to find in standard Swiss Alps accommodation, especially without travelling to remote spa resorts.
Vitznau sits directly on Lake Lucerne and has excellent transport connections by boat, train and road. Guests can walk to the ferry station, hop on the historic Rigi mountain railway, or explore lakeside paths and swimming spots.
Everything is close, but nothing feels crowded. That balance is exactly what many travellers are looking for when searching for a Swiss Alps vacation rental that offers both nature and ease.
Staying at Chalet Oz means choosing flexibility. Guests can arrive and depart on the days that suit their itinerary, enjoy longer stays with weekly savings, and book directly for added perks not available on large booking platforms.
Whether the plan includes mountain hikes, alpine train journeys, lake swims or simply slowing down, Chalet Oz offers a Swiss Alps vacation rental that feels personal, calm and well located. Book your stay direct at www.chalet-oz.ch
