Take a journey back through time with a journey to the medieval town of Gruyères. It has a glorious castle, built sometime between 1270 and 1282, which is now a Swiss heritage site of national significance, plus lots more to discover. It’s a short private transfer from Ultima Hotel Gstaad.

Gstaad’s ice rink has many stories to tell. Locals hold it in high regard, with its location in the very centre of the village. Everyone’s welcome – so, whether it’s to attempt spins or turns as an ice skater, or join a game of ice hockey, we strongly recommend a visit.

Roam frozen trails or the Promenade as it twinkles in Christmas lights on horseback or in a horse-drawn carriage. You will quickly feel at one with nature, experiencing a joy that’s been at the heart of Switzerland for longer than anyone can truly remember.

Explore in style by soaring over the Bernese Oberland in a helicopter. Different companies offer different routes, from flights over the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, or towards the Valais Alps closer to the Matterhorn. Access remote skiing trails or stop off for culinary delights in a charming alpine village.
