Set in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, Gstaad is one of Switzerland’s most refined mountain destinations. Renowned for its discreet luxury, classic wooden chalets, and the gentle charm of Gstaad village, it combines alpine beauty with an international reputation for style and elegance.

From family-friendly runs in Schönried to more challenging descents and night skiing in Saanenmöser, there’s something for everyone. Nearby, Glacier 3000, reachable in under an hour, offers 28 kilometers of glacier skiing and unique attractions like the Peak Walk, a suspension bridge connecting two mountain summits at nearly 3,000 meters. After a day on the slopes, Gstaad invites you to unwind in warm and elegant surroundings. The car-free village promenade is lined with designer boutiques, artisan chocolatiers, and cozy alpine restaurants. The pace is relaxed, the atmosphere refined. As the snow melts, Gstaad reveals over 300 kilometers of marked hiking trails, ideal for walking, biking, and nature discovery. Scenic gondola rides offer access to panoramic hikes like the Rinderberg to Horneggli trail, while alpine lakes and meadows burst into bloom. The village itself remains a peaceful retreat, with sunny terraces, boutique shopping, and cultural events adding to the summer charm. Highlights include the world-famous Menuhin Festival, a celebration of classical music held throughout July and August in stunning mountain settings.
