Chalet Martin - Gryon, Switzerland

Those who have been lucky enough to visit this wonderful
Chalet fondly refer to it as the Chalet Martin Vortex.
Almost everyone stays longer than they planned.

And why would you want to leave,
with views like this right outside the window.

Or this one from the deck.

And there are activities aplenty:
beautiful hikes through the Swiss Alps,
or, better yet, skiing...

followed by a trip to the thermal pools
to relax the aching muscles.

Or you can just relax at the Chalet itself and
while away the hours working jigsaw puzzles,
playing various games or musical instruments,
reading, or just napping on the couch.

Best of all, it's a great place to just hang out
and meet other travelers.  As I said before,
it has a reputation as a vortex from which escape
is, at the very least, difficult.  I originally intended
to stay two days and ended up staying eight.
Then I came back a week later and stayed another ten.
