Wooden houses in the typic chalet style of the region.

The cozy chalet Schlaeppi in the Simmental...

The two chalets are situated in the Valley of the Simme-river beside the street to Lenk and the railway station - very good accessable with car and train. The environment is further characterized by meadows, forrest and an imposant view to mountains. Most habitants are farmers but the village contains also a sawmill and a former airport of the swiss army. Also remarkable are the little chapel and the traditional restaurants. There is no mass tourism in Sankt Stephan! The witchery of the village and her environment seems to me (author of the site) really a little bit like the bright side of David Lynchs Twin Peaks. Save that St. Stephan is in Switzerland.
