Gstaad, known as the playground of the rich and famous, is to be found in the mainly German speaking, south western region of Switzerland. Made famous by the likes of Princess Grace of Monaco, Sir Roger Moore and the Shah of Iran, Gstaad is an exceedingly pretty alpine village, car-free, with its main street a veritable paradise for culture-lovers and designer-shoppers alike.
Ski-wise, Gstaad is ideal for intermediates, with long and easy descents in some of the most beautiful alpine settings. Curling, skating and tobogganing add variety to the resort experience. The ski season runs between December and late March.
Gstaad, with its significant number of privately-owned chalets, has, through sensitive architectural restrictions, resisted the temptation to over-develop and so has retained a gorgeous old-world charm.
