THROUGH THE YEARS…

Scaling new heights

The first seeds of Chaletbau Matti were sown in Saanen, within striking distance of Gstaad in the Swiss mountains. Rich in natural beauty, and with a strong woodworking tradition, the area proved a fertile setting for the company. Year after year, Chaletbau Matti’s artisans have pushed forwards the art of carpentry and joinery, taking chalet-making to new heights.
