Why Choose Gstaad for your Next Ski Holiday?
With its fairytale village, snow-covered slopes and relaxed glamour, Gstaad offers a distinctive ski experience. Unlike some of the more frenetic Alpine resorts, ski holidays to Gstaad are defined by a sense of serenity and elegance.
The pedestrianised village is lined with historic wooden buildings and designer boutiques, while the surrounding mountains offer 200 km of varied pistes suitable for all abilities. Home to the only glacier ski area in the Bernese Oberland, the season here stretches well into spring.

Gstaad is the perfect destination for an old-school ski trip. It's the original alpine elegance. Julie Andrews (who knows a little something about favourite things) calls Gstaad “the last paradise in a crazy world.
What Sets Gstaad Apart?
The History of Gstaad
Once described by Julie Andrews as the “last paradise in a crazy world,” Gstaad is far more than a celebrity hideaway. While it attracts royalty and A-listers, its true charm lies in its blend of authentic Alpine life and refined luxury.
Easily reached by car from Geneva in just two hours, or via the scenic Golden Pass train, Gstaad welcomes visitors with breathtaking views and timeless elegance. Despite its glamorous reputation, the village has preserved its traditional character, with over 200 working farms and a strong mountain culture that gives it a uniquely authentic charm.
Gstaad Ski Area
The Gstaad ski area encompasses several interconnected regions, including Schönried, Saanenmöser, Zweisimmen and Glacier 3000. With over 200 km of slopes and 40+ lifts, skiers of all levels are well catered for.
Lift passes can be tailored to your needs - whether you're visiting for a weekend or a full week. The Glacier 3000 area, accessible via Reusch or Col du Pillon, is a must-visit, offering dramatic views and reliable snow throughout the season.
Gstaad Village & Lifestyle
Walking through Gstaad feels like stepping into a timeless Alpine storybook, with its beautiful wooden chalets and buildings, some of which date back to the 14th century. The main promenade is pedestrianised, allowing for a relaxed, unhurried wander as you take in the atmosphere. And despite its high-end reputation, Gstaad manages to feel remarkably laid-back.
While skiing is undoubtedly a highlight, Gstaad ski holidays offer much more than just time on the pistes. Enjoy boutique shopping along the village promenade, visit one of the region’s excellent spas, or explore the extensive winter hiking and snowshoe trails. Dining is also a major draw, with a mix of rustic Alpine inns and refined gourmet restaurants, including Michelin-starred options.
The charm of Gstaad is hard to put into words. I love sitting outside Charly’s tea room with a hot chocolate in winter and watching the figure skaters practise their routines on the ice rink.
