Villas in Unterterzen

About Unterterzen

Unterterzen is a village on the southern shore of the Walensee, alongside Mols, Murg and Mühlehorn, with a station on the Ziegelbrücke to Sargans railway line. Across the water the seven peaks of the Churfirsten rise steeply from the lake. The cable car to Flumserberg starts next to the station and calls at Oberterzen on the way up to the resort terrace. The homes sit in one tight group in the village and none has a private pool. Nearly half have a sauna and most have a fireplace, which suits cold evenings, while few have a garden. Check restaurant opening times before an off-season visit.

When to go to Unterterzen

Winter brings skiing on the Flumserberg terrace, reached by the gondola, and the fireplaces and saunas in many homes come into their own. In summer the same hills are used for hiking and biking, with a summer toboggan run called Floomzer, and the lake is the main draw.
