Gstaad

Gstaad occupies a broad Alpine valley beside the Saane in Switzerland’s canton of Bern. This resort village belongs to the municipality of Saanen and sits in the Saanenland, a network of valleys below the Bernese Alps. Its compact centre retains the form of a traditional mountain settlement, with wooden chalets lining the pedestrian Promenade, while the Gstaad Palace, opened in 1913, is a long-standing local landmark. Music has a firm place here too: Yehudi Menuhin founded the Gstaad Menuhin Festival in 1957, bringing classical concerts to churches and halls across the area. Trails and mountain lifts connect the village with surrounding slopes in summer as well as winter. Browse webcams nearby to see how Gstaad belongs to the wider Bernese Oberland.
