Good to know

Good to know in St. Stephan

In the Simmental our cleaners live between Lenk and the valley entrance at Wimmis. Many houses are timber buildings with panelling, wooden floors and tiled stoves that need suitable care. Besides holiday properties there are many primary homes of families, so move-out and maintenance cleaning are as common as guest changeovers.

In winter we plan jobs so that snowy access roads can be reached safely.
