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.
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
- Enjoyble skiing for beginners and those on their first visit to the slopes!
- You get a traditional village that's traffic-free in the centre
|
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
- Sometimes a little unreliable on snow cover
