About Christian Haesler Jr.

Christian Haesler Jr. was a renowned Swiss mountaineer and one of the legendary guides who played a pivotal role in the early 20th-century Canadian mountain exploration. Hired by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), Haesler Jr. brought European-style hiking and mountaineering to the Canadian Rockies, leading numerous "first ascents" on the region's peaks. His expertise and passion for mountaineering significantly contributed to the development of adventure tourism in Western Canada. The chalet that bears his name is a testament to his enduring legacy and the rich history of the Swiss Guides.

Gut: Kommunikation, Lage und Genauigkeit des Onlineauftritts
We were one of the first to stay in this home, and although it truly is redesigned in a beautiful way with elegant details, the home itself was not as functional as a Vrbo ought to be. Many common household items were missing, like tongs for the grill, normal size cutting boards (there were only 2 small decorative ones), and a sponge for washing dishes. There were no extra paper towels, no spices at all (we left some, so hopefully the next guests will find that useful), and the body wash container was completely out of body wash. The water dispenser near the kitchen ran out almost immediately. I also thought it was important to pass along that this particular home (#3) looks down on a busy 4-way stop light, so you are not necessarily tucked into the mountains. Kicking Horse is visible from the home, though, and those mountains are a beautiful view. The location itself is really convenient. The house is close to the road and downtown Golden.
