Experiences provided by Swisstainable committed service providers in Gstaad

This downhill run, divided into two sections, takes tobogganers to the beautiful village of Gsteig. From there you can catch the post bus back to Gstaad.

Our beehives are nestled within the gardens of The Alpina Gstaad and can be discovered during a beekeeping workshop led by a professional local beekeeper who cares for them each year. Available every summer, this 45-minute experience invites guests into the fascinating world of bees. The beekeeper shares insights into their unique universe, explains the honey-making process, and highlights the vital role of a healthy environment in their survival.

On this trail along the river Saane visitors can peruse twelve panels with quotes from Sir Yehudi Menuhin (1916 – 1999).

Being in the Saanen region, with its five beautiful side valleys, is as being in paradise – probably also due to the legend of the Hand of God. It is said that when He was resting here during the creation, He formed the Saanen region with the imprint of His hand – the region’s hand-like shape can be seen quite well from here. Altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 m (3,300–9,800 ft) make for heavenly views. Along with the backdrop of mountains, forests and lakes, this region strengthens your well-being and provides positive energy!

Série Horns – A Charming Alpine Stay for Feathered Guests: Set in front of the Posthotel Rössli chalet in Gstaad, Série Horns is a birdhouse series designed by interior architecture master's student Jaemo Lee. Inspired by the iconic postal horn, the design pays tribute to the hotel’s history as a former post office. Shaped like musical horns and crafted from wood with chalet-style roofs, the birdhouses symbolically link birds to messengers and nests to mailboxes. This poetic reinterpretation blends traditional Swiss aesthetics with functionality, offering a refined retreat for birds who appreciate alpine elegance.

The ride along the well-prepared run is a first-class treat...

The mountain ridge to the south of Gstaad is well known to hikers as the most beautiful starting point for the panoramic hike to the hugely popular Lauenensee lake. A gondola takes visitors up to Höhi Wispile.
