We would very much like to do a few exchanges this and next year. Open for many locations, please write us and we will surely come back to you! We are also open for shorter exchanges, long weekends this year.
We are open for simultaneos house exchange.
We are a family of 6 - two adults and four children in the age of 32, 30, 25 and 21. We are living in Sierre (Switzerland, middle or the Wallis), a small city with approx. 18.000 people. The city has all facilities you may need, a very nice, city centre with many shops, restaurants and bars. Sierre is next to Sion, our capital in Wallis, with a nice historical center, a beautiful, hilly area with forests and mountains. Excellent hiking and skiing!
Our house was build in 2000 and is in a quiet part of Sierre. Our street is also quiet and child friendly.

The Sierre trainstation is a 10 minute walk from our house. From there, you can catch a direct train to Sion (10 minutes), Zermatt (60 minutes), Lausanne (55 minutes) and Bern (1h20).
We are living in a house that is standing on its own with a garden around it. Plenty of space to sit and enjoy the sun or for children to play on the grass, play hide-and-seek in the garden. 10 minutes walking away there is a small lake for everyone to cool down on hot days. A part of it is with swimmingpool.

We have 4 bedrooms on the first floor. There are two bathrooms (ground floor and 1st floor).

For families with children: We have many toys, board games, outdoor toys, children's DVD's etc. We are sure your children will feel at home in our house (and so will the parents).

Please contact us if you are interested in spending some time in Switzerland and the alps!

Liebe Intervac-Freunde

Wir wohnen in der Südwest-Schweiz, mitten in den Alpen, im Rhonetal.
Die Autobahn führt bis fast an die Türen der Stadt Siders. Der Fremdenverkehr ist die erste Einnahmequelle unserer Gegend: das touristische Angebot hat sich entsprechend entwickelt. Sierre/Siders liegt nur 15 Km von der weltberühmten Ski-Station "Crans-Montana", wo die Ski-Weltmeisterschaften vor etwa 10 Jahren stattgefunden haben. Dort werden Sie einen mit 18 Löchern ausgestatteten Golfplatz finden, wo regelmässig Weltmeisterschaften stattfinden. Weltberühmte Künstler und Politiker sind anzutreffen. Das Alpenpanorama ist unvergesslich. Es dort sogar ein Casino.

Siders, ist eine kleine Stadt im Süden der Schweiz von circa 17'000 Einwohnern die ungefähr 15 km weit von unserer Kantonshauptstadt Sion/Sitten entfernt liegt, welche eine ehemalige mittelalterliche Burg besitzt. Wir wohnen daher ziemlich ruhig umgeben von Gärten und Reben.

Wir wohnen auch nicht weit weg von Zermatt dem berühmten Touristendorf, welches am Fusse des Matterhorns liegt. Auch Lausanne, Genf, Bern und Freiburg erreichen sie mit dem Zug oder der Autobahn in ungefähr 1-2Std.

Die Ausflugsmöglichkeiten sind unaufzählbar. Im Sommer sind vor allem die Bergwanderungen zu empfehlen. Es gibt tausende Wanderwege, die zu herrlichen Berghütten führen.
Zwei Thermalbäder, Leukerbad und Brigerbad sind in weniger als einer Autostunde zu erreichen. Auch in Siders gibt es ausgezeichnete Bademöglichkeiten: einen kleinen See (der Gerundensee) und das Hallenbad.
Obwohl die Mehrheit der Einwohner Französisch spricht, gibt es trotzdem 15 %, die Schweizerdeutsch als Muttersprache angeben.

Unsere Familie
Patrick ist pensionierter Primarlehrer und ich bin Hausfrau/Ludothekarin/Uebersetzerin. Emmanuel ist 32 Jahre alt, Daniel 30, Jonas 26 und Lea 23 Jahre alt.

Falls unser Angebot auf Ihr Interesse stösst, wären wir froh wenn Sie möglichst bald mit uns Kontakt aufnehmen würden.

In der Hoffnung, Sie bald kennen zu lernen, verbleiben wir mit besten Grüssen.

Dominique und Patrick Briguet

Dear Intervac friends,

We live in the middle of the Alp, in the Wallis, in Switzerland, where it's easy to reach big city's like Geneva, Lausanne or Berne and mountains (Zermatt, Verbier, Crans-Montana) within a short time. If we have got your interest, maybe give a look at our ad.

Here some more details about our home and family:
Patrick, 65, is a retired teacher at the elementary school. Dominique, 59, is staying at home and does translations for a computer firm from German to French.
Emmanuel 32, Daniel 30, Jonas 26 and Lea 23 are working and studying all over Switzerland.

Our home is, as you see on the pictures, three stairs high.

As our town is very small, you'll find very easily the center with the shops. At the station there is also a tourist information in case you need more informations. But I have 2 books (in French only, sorry) and 2 folders full of things you can do if you won't go hiking!!

At 15 min. north there is Crans-Montana with his well-known Golf-Club. At 40 min. east you can admire the Matterhorn in Zermatt or in 30 min. in Leukerbad have a warm bath in the different swimming-pools of the Burgerbad. There are two nice castels in Sion, from where you have a nice visibility of the Wallis east and west. In Sion there is every Friday morning a market with typical food and other Walliser specialties.
At the Chateau Villa there is a Wine-bar, you can also eat Raclette here (the typical Walliser food) which will surely be something to do with the children!!
It's melted cheese with potatoes. To drink there you can try a lot of different wines.

We stay also only one hour from Lausanne, two from Geneva, so if you would like to see this two towns on the lake of Geneva, the highway will bring you there in the shortest time.
