Gstaad means first class tennis, and a meeting point for the jet set from all over the world However, Gstaad is also visually magnificent, with never ending landscapes and panoramic trails on the ridge. It is made for biking tours. The tour over Wispile is the proof of the pudding. The gentle uphill is followed by a track over a sensational burr. The Alps of Berne and Waadt can be seen.
