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.

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.

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 are few places in Switzerland better to go fat biking than Gstaad. Its otherworldly vistas have made this sport increasingly popular amongst travellers. With a guide leading the way, you could pick between downhill runs or circular tours with these unique, thick-tyred bikes.
