Gstaad is as much about the experience beyond the slopes as it is about skiing. Its combination of dramatic mountain scenery, understated elegance and exceptional hospitality has made it one of Switzerland's most sought-after winter destinations.
With more than 200 kilometres of pistes spread across several ski areas, Gstaad offers varied terrain for both experienced skiers and those looking for a more relaxed day on the snow. The surrounding peaks provide a spectacular backdrop throughout the season, while private ski instruction and mountain guides can be arranged for a more personalised experience.
For a different perspective, venture higher towards Glacier 3000, the only glacier ski area in the Bernese Oberland. Open for winter sports from late October into spring, it offers panoramic views across the Alps, including Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn on clear days.
Gstaad's car-free centre is one of the defining features of the resort. Traditional chalets line the village streets alongside refined boutiques, art galleries and independent shops, creating an atmosphere that feels both exclusive and distinctly Swiss.
Take a leisurely walk through the village, browse its selection of international and local brands or enjoy a coffee in one of its elegant cafés. Away from the centre, winter trails lead through snow-covered forests and peaceful Alpine landscapes.
Gstaad's winter experience continues indoors, with an impressive selection of gourmet restaurants, elegant bars and wellness retreats. After a day in the mountains, unwind at one of the resort's renowned spas or enjoy an evening of fine dining accompanied by Swiss wines and regional specialities.
For a more private experience, Cielo Aviation can also assist with arranging personalised activities and transfers throughout your stay.
Gstaad is home to some of Switzerland's most distinguished Alpine hotels, combining discreet service, exceptional wellness facilities and a strong sense of place.
Overlooking Gstaad from an elevated position, Gstaad Palace has been one of the resort's most recognisable addresses since 1913. The family-owned hotel combines traditional Alpine character with refined interiors, extensive wellness facilities and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.
Guests can choose between several restaurants and bars, while the Palace Spa offers an extensive selection of treatments, pools and relaxation areas. Its combination of heritage, privacy and personalised service makes it a natural choice for an exclusive stay in Gstaad.
Set in a private park close to the centre of Gstaad, Le Grand Bellevue combines the atmosphere of a traditional Swiss grand hotel with a contemporary approach to hospitality. Its spacious rooms and suites, gourmet dining and extensive wellness facilities create a sophisticated retreat after a day in the mountains.
The hotel's Le Grand Spa offers more than 3,000 m² dedicated to wellness, including pools, treatment rooms, saunas and relaxation areas. Its central yet peaceful setting makes it particularly well suited to travellers looking for comfort and privacy within easy reach of the village.
