Mountain Resorts - Switzerland
Gstaad
I believe that after spending some time on our website, you realized that we love Switzerland! But even though Switzerland is not so big, it’s still very different, so everyone can find their own happy place here to come back and bring everyone to show the beauty and the energy of this place. Sounds like I know what I am talking about? It's because I’m happy to say I found THIS place in Switzerland. For me it’s Gstaad.

  • Question:
    What is Gstaad?
    Answer:
    It's a small and very charming Alpine village, which attracts thousands of visitors every winter, and what is more, even summer. But why? You will not have an answer to this until you don't come here yourself, but you will definitely get a better perception of how to fall in love with Gstaad. When I came here for the first time, my fiance (who loves Gstaad and knows it since he was born) took me by the hand to all the iconic places of this resort, and since then he has been showing me all the new and hard-to-reach without prior reservation places. Now it's time I share my knowledge with you.

You wake up after a long sleep, as here everyone sleeps like a baby and locals are sure it’s not only because of the fresh mountain air, but also because of the unique altitude of Gstaad, which is 1000m above sea level - the perfect altitude for the deep sleep.
