• Gstaad is a 3-minute drive. The best restaurants and where to shop in our Gstaad Insider Guide.

Concierge Services

• The chalet can be rented on a self-catering basis, or a specially tailored package can be offered. We can arrange pre-stocking of the chalet with your favorite foods, or provide a chef - just let us know what you would like.

When to Go

• The best skiing months are from December until March. The region is as beautiful during summer when several events take place and you can swim in the crystal clear mountain lakes and go on beautiful hikes. Some of our favorite months are September & October, when temperatures are still mild.

How to Get There

• By air: Fly either to Geneva ( 1.45 hours), or Zurich, which is a little over 2 hours away. The Gstaad Saanen airport for private jets is a 3-minute drive.
• By train: Take the state-of-the-art Golden Pass railway: it's the most beautiful smooth ride with magnificent panoramic views of the lake, mountains, and wilderness. If you're lucky you'll catch the Belle-Epoque carriages with all the vintage style of the Orient Express. Saanen train station is a 2-minute drive or 10-minute walk.
