Float over the charming chalets of Gstaad in a hot air balloon, where it’s still and peaceful. Taking in a new perspective of this authentic alpine village, as the sun rises or sets alongside you, is one of the most heart-warming ways to start or end the day.

The Swiss Alps were made for exploring by bike, with steep valleys and winding trails that cater to every level of fitness. There are over 300 kilometres of pathways for you to explore, it is an opportunity to take in the incredible surroundings from a new perspective. For a twist on a tradition, we can arrange electric-powered ‘E-bikes’ instead.

There’s nothing like a dramatic landscape to calm the mind. Gstaad is home to an abundance of lakes, rivers and waterfalls, all with their own character. For a gentle yet highly rewarding hike, head to the pristine Sanetsch, or discover Arnen or Lauenen. You’ll never get tired of places to cool down. 

Gstaad should not be missed in the summer. Come to see the annual Menuhin Festival and listen to some of the greatest names of the classical music scene, or watch the EFG Swiss Open Gstaad which has been happening for more than 100 years. Not forgetting the Hublot Polo Gold Cup.
