At first glance, this stylish apartment full of parquet flooring and clean-line design wouldn't look out of place in the middle of a city, but the mountainous view out the window gives the game away. In reality, the home is found high up in the Alps in the heart of Saas-Grund and is perfect for outdoorsy types all year round, whether they want to hike or cycle in the summer or go skiing in the winter — both trails and lifts to the slopes start about five minutes' walk from your front door. The apartment building itself is geared towards those who want to make the most of the great outdoors.
