Explore the car-free centre of Gstaad village with its cafes and wooden chalet-style shops. The Gstaad Dairy Käsegrotte is well worth a visit. Here you can purchase a backpack containing all the ingredients for an outdoor fondue. The summer highlight is the “Gstaad Züglete”, when the cows descend from the mountain pastures decorated with flower garlands. First-class ski resorts and day spas at Gstaad fine hotels beckon in winter.
