Val Fex, after the hotel closes

Val Fex is the side valley above Sils Maria. In late autumn its rhythm changes: Hotel Fex is listed as closed from 19 October to 18 December, so the valley's most familiar overnight address is unavailable this week and for most of the next seven.

Our selection is a self-catering alternative: Chesa Meuli Fex, a first-floor apartment in a shared house in the hamlet of Crasta, near the church. The listing describes three rooms (Swiss room counts include living space): two bedrooms, each with two single beds, one bathroom, a kitchen with oven and dishwasher, a table for six, two balconies, a washer-dryer and Wi-Fi, for up to four adults.

Access is both the point and the constraint. The listing says direct access by car is not permitted; guests are collected and returned in Sils Maria, where parking is in an underground garage. With the hotel closed, provisions travel up with you. It is a stay for people who want the valley quiet rather than serviced.

The page shows no price and states that availability could not be confirmed; requests are forwarded to the provider. Agree the transfer times in advance and check which paths are open on your dates.

Price and November availability on request; transfer from Sils Maria to be arranged before arrival.
