Gstaad

The chalet village of Gstaad has become one of the most popular destinations for international celebrities, but this charming village has so much more to offer than elegant boutiques, gourmet restaurants and top hotels. The fact that it is surrounded by beautiful nature, idyllic mountain villages, waterfalls and crystal-clear lakes means it is the perfect destination for everyone. With more than 300km of signposted and well-maintained trails, the region is a genuine walkers' paradise. The dense and far-reaching network of hiking paths is easily accessible via cable cars and public transport.
