About us

My name is Alex, I live in Zurich with my son Lachlan. I grew up in the Chamonix valley until the age of 20. Ex semi-professional rugby player and ex-coach of the Zurich rugby team, I lived in Edinburgh and Auckland to pursue my passion for the sport.

I love the outdoors and try to share this passion with my son when we're together. I bought The Alpen Lounge in 2010 so that I could come visit my family more often. The chalet is our home, not a typical rental property, and we take tremendous pleasure to make it available to our guests.
