Where to sleep?
We recommend staying at the legendary Gstaad Palace. You’ll enjoy a pleasant, rejuvenating stay. The Palace opened its doors in 1913, in the Oberbort district. Since then, it has withstood the vicissitudes of time. The vagaries of history have left their mark on this jewel of the Swiss hotel industry, in the hands of the Scherz family since 1947.
At Gstaad Palace, your every wish is catered for. Choose from 90 rooms and suites. Each has its own style, furnished with Alpine chic combined with British sobriety, appointed in noble materials and offering breathtaking views.

History of the airfield
The Gstaad airfield was used for military purposes during the Second World War and the Cold War. Its location was subject to military secrecy, not appearing in information manuals until the 1980s. Gradually, infrastructures were created to accommodate private jets.
Every year, Gstaad hosts a number of international events, including tennis tournaments. It is also the setting for numerous novels and films, such as “OSS 117: Rio ne répond plus”, “Le Retour de la panthère rose” and “Snowboarder”.
