Resort Information
Despite being a huge ski area popular with celebrities and locals alike, the ski area of Gstaad has very much retained its mountain village roots, and nestled in between 4 valleys with 9 charming Swiss villages, offers an amazing variety of terrain with both separate and interconnected ski areas forming over 300km of piste runs.
Famous for its incredible terrain and the snow-sure Glacier 3000, it’s less of a party town than some but still has plenty to offer the mountain enthusiast.
