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.

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.

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.

In winter, Gstaad’s pristine, marshmallow-like landscape is a playground for adventure. Picture being pulled towards Glacier 3000 by huskies, with the cold, crisp air in your face. It’s a task they are overjoyed to take on. You will also be partaking in an activity that has survived thousands of years.
