Gryon, Switzerland: Working from a Historic Alpine Village
SEPTEMBER 2026 · GRYON
From the trip
The Chalet
We stayed in a private chalet on a quiet street in the heart of Gryon, facing a stunning, uninterrupted view of the Alps all the way to the Dents du Midi. We had breakfast outside, spread out across the spacious common areas to work or relax, and gathered in the garden for dinners with a sunset view over the mountains.
The Area
Gryon is one of the older villages in the Swiss Alps, first mentioned in records back in 1189. The chalet sits on a private street right in the heart of the village, with an uninterrupted view stretching from the Dents du Midi to the Diablerets massif.
Beyond the village, the area is made for getting outside — Solalex and the Miroir d'Argentine offer some of the best hiking in the region, with trails like La Chaux Ronde leading up to sweeping alpine views. Gryon is also linked to the Villars-Gryon resort, and the village itself is worth wandering — many of its old wooden chalets date back to the 18th century and earlier.
