Gstaad Saanenland

Bern

The holiday region of Gstaad in the Bernese Oberland is a top international destination. Cosy chalets and breathtaking landscapes in the wonderful mountain valley invite guests to lean back and relax. Numerous mountain cableways and events are available all year round. You can enjoy a magnificent view of the mountains from the ultra-modern Gstaad Saanenland hostel, which is also a certified bike hotel, and the multitude of skiing regions are within easy reach on the ski bus. If you're looking for adventure, don't miss Glacier 3000! You'll find tradition very much alive on the Fondue Walk or in the Gstaad Cheese Cave, and a natural idyll at the Lake Lauenen energy hotspot. Can also be booked for wedding parties.
