Winter Events | Gstaad | Ultima Collection

Gstaad’s winter events calendar is hard to beat. For music lovers, there is the New Year Music Festival and Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad, where emerging artists and international virtuosos play a nine-day programme of classical concerts.

Details

January sees the International Hot Air Balloon Festival at Château-d’Oex, where you can watch dozens of hot-air balloons fly over the snow-capped mountains and view a spectacular event. Of course, winter festivities are not complete without a Christmas market, and Saanen’s will be sure to delight.

Dog Sledding

Explore

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.

Golf and Minigolf

Explore

It doesn’t get much more Swiss than this. Overlooking the white-capped Bernese mountains, Gstaad-Saanenland Golf Club’s 18-hole golf course is not short on natural beauty or tranquillity. Alternatively, take the family to a mini golf course in Gstaad’s Sportzentrum for something a little crazier.
