Welcome to Gstaad
Switzerland, known for its prosperous economy and breath-taking skiing slopes is also home to the scenic alpine region, commonly referred to as the Swiss Alps. Nestled below distinctive mountains and undulating pastures, Gstaad has long been referred to as a fine destination to breakaway from city noise and routine. Weathered timber wood restored for capacious chalets, circled by cattle ringing their cowbells, the unspoilt panorama transplants an immediate mind-opening movement; akin to a vibrant page out of a Hermann Hesse novel. The slogan here ‘come up, slow down’ is an accurate and increasingly important dialogue for the modern lifestyle. Let your attention be undivided and loop into an uncomplicated tempo in Gstaad.
