    Description

    We are a family with a girl, a boy, me Silvan and my wife Corinne. We live in a big, old wooden house near Emmental the valley , where the famous cheese Emmentaler" swiss cheese come from.
    We have the dream, to live someday from our own ideas, without working outside our little paradise.
    Our house is located in the heart of the village, near the train station.
    The green hills and the lovely woods are a perfect place to spend some quit days, go for hiking or just watch the lovely view of the swiss alps. We have a vegetal garden, some fruit trees and we try our best to live in harmony with the nature.
    We do all of the renovation work by ourself. Perhaps you can inspire us with your ideas or you can support us with your experience.
