The four

Start with how much you want to have to yourselves.

The useful difference is simple: whether you want a room, an apartment, the whole camp or a whole house.

  • Private Chalets

What they share

The address changes. The responsibility does not.

Every place on this page is arranged by Xwander and answered for by Xwander.

One company takes the booking, hands you the key and picks up the phone when the weather moves. That is why four different kinds of stay sit here under one name.

One enquiry

Start with the shape of your party.

Tell us how many people are coming and what you want: a room, a kitchen, the whole camp or a whole house.
