Les Sapins

In a pine forest above Lausanne, this woodland retreat opens its timber-sided lodge to celebrations for fifty to one hundred fifty guests among tall trees and forest light. The interior preserves exposed beam construction and stone fireplaces; large windows frame the surrounding woods rather than distant vistas. The setting eschews formality for quietude; the forest provides the ceremony's backdrop. A small stream runs through the property. It suits couples seeking refuge from urban bustle without sacrificing creature comforts.
