Gstaad in the Saanenland, Switzerland, has become an iconic destination whose reputation is closely linked to that of its famous visitors due to its combination of cosmopolitan style and understated earthiness. Here you will find one of the world’s most exclusive ski resorts and snow paradise during winter. Meanwhile, when summer hits, Gstaad is a breath-taking mountain world ready to be explored.

“Last paradise in a crazy world,” is how Hollywood star Julie Andrews described her holiday home in Gstaad, because, in spite of its international style, Gstaad has remained truly Alpine. The atmosphere is quiet and discreet although there is always an attractive mixture of stylish bars for those night owls, a true mixture of live music, trendy clubs with DJ music and chilling lounges in the resort. All attractions found in Gstaad have one thing in common: their international and laid-back atmosphere.
