Summer events in Gstaad
Gstaad has a packed calendar of events over the warmer months. The iconic ESF Swiss Open Gstaad draws in visitors from around the world, while the international Polo Gold Cup sees some of the top-ranking players compete for world-ranking points.
Music lovers will not want to miss the Gstaad Menuhin Festival & Academy, which takes place from July to September. And Swatch Beach Pro sees the alpine setting host a volleyball tournament. One of the most traditional events is The Züglete in September. Decorated with flowers and bells, the local farmers bring their herds of cattle down into the valley and move through the village with them.

The first Swiss Open Gstaad took place in 1915 and it’s been at the heart of this village ever since. It’s brought stars such as Yannick Noah, Roger Federer and Jiri Novak to its courts. You have several options to choose from: the outdoor courts of Gstaad Palace, Saanen or Sportzentrum.

Skiing
Nestled between 1,000 and 3,000 meters, and with a truly diverse offering, there is a slope for everyone in Gstaad. Thrill seekers will want to head to Tiger Run, and less-experienced skiers will delight in the heights of The Red Run slope of Glacier 3000, the only glacier ski area in the Bernese Oberland.
