Nestled
in the pines, at the end of beautiful Wallowa
Lake is the Matterhorn Swiss Village, offering Swiss
Style Cottages, one condominium unit, a unique gift shop called Die
Alpen and Kaffeehaus, serving coffee, espresso,
and ice cream.
Matterhorn
Swiss Village is located in the Wallowa Mountains,
in Northeast Oregon. Wallowa County, rich in Native American lore,
is truly a land of enchantment! Here you will find a most spectacular
domain with majestic snowcapped mountains rising up to 10,000 feet,
over 60 beautiful high lakes, streams with lush green valleys carpeted
with wild flowers. On the eastern boundary, the canyon known as
Hell's Canyon may be found, a gorge deeper than any other in North
America.
For sightseers, campers, outdoor lovers, hikers, backpackers, photographers,
explorers, hunters, and skiers, this is a most unique place to visit.
For the fishermen, there are bountiful lakes, rivers, and streams,
offering various types of fish. Wallowa County also offers some of
the best hunting around. |

You
may wish to take a trip to Imnaha, with an elevation of 1945 ft.,
then on to Hat Point, elevation 6982 ft., where you can look into
the Snake River Canyon. Or you may wish to just relax in the warm
sun or in the cool shade of the pines. Fall Indian summers are
warm with mellow days and cool nights, and a peacefulness difficult
to match anywhere.
Some
activities in the region are boating, swimming, water skiing, horseback
riding, golfing, bowling, and a Tramway with
a vertical rise of some 3800 feet. The ride takes passengers to
the alpine meadows of Mt. Howard where an unsurpassed view of the
mountains of the Little Switzerland of America will
greet your eyes! The Wallowa Lake Tramway is located just across
the street from us. Activities such as miniature golf, go carts,
and horseback riding are within walking distance. Matterhorn Swiss
Village is centrally located amongst all the excitement at Wallowa
Lake. Come to Wallowa County and discover it yourself at the Matterhorn
