Why not ski Gstaad this winter? The delights of this charming Swiss village ensure that your skiing and snowboarding holiday in Switzerland is a memorable one. With 250km of skiable piste, you're 90 minutes from Berne or Sion.

Where

Ski Gstaad and you're set in stunning mountain scenery with over 250km of piste, serviced by 58 lifts. Part of the Gstaad Super Ski Region, your pass will provide access the ski areas of Gstaad, Chateau d'Oex, Rougemont, Sannen, Villars, Leysin and the Diablerets glacier. With Geneva just 90 minutes away, getting there is easy.

On the slopes

Ski Gstaad if you are a beginner, an intermediate or are planning a family holiday. Those new to skiing should head for the Wispile and Eggli lifts, which offer gentle tree lined runs close to the resort, while intermediates will find the best skiing at Les Diablerets, Villars and Leysin, or on the long tree-lined cruises from Schonreid and Saanenmoser. Advanced skiing and snowboarding nuts will want to go off-piste for a real challenge - look to the area around Schonreid and Saanenmoser for the best conditions.

Ski area

If you ski Gstaad you are in the Swiss ski region of Bernese Oberland and the ski area of Glacier-Alpes Vaudoises.

Off the slopes

You'll find a good selection of restaurants, cafés, bars, and clubs in Gstaad, but don't expect a wild nightlife. The ski resort of Gstaad used to be the place to go for the jet set, and although there are still some expensive places around, you'll also find many reasonable choices. Away from the slopes there's plenty to do. In addition to the shopping there's a cinema, a gym an indoor and outdoor pool, or you can try skidoo, parapenting, or ice-skating.

WE LIKE

  • Over 200kms of runs available at all levels but particularly good for intermediates
  • Lift ticket enable you to ski the huge 'super ski region
  • Spectacular setting with the alps all around and a castle! Town is car free and all destinations are a short walk away

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Skiing is spread out across the region, so buses and cars are needed to access all
  • Not a huge amount of choice for experts unless you like off-piste
  • Attracts the super wealthy so limited budget accomodation
