This forest hideaway is where Nobel Prize–winning German novelist Thomas Mann spent the first weeks of his exile. The luxurious chalet exudes old-world charm with its warm pine-clad rooms and guests arriving by horse-drawn carriage. Soothe tired post-ski muscles in the spa or sip fine Swiss wines as the pianist plays in the lounge.
