Gstaad Mountain Rides

The Gstaad ski resorts are situated in the heart of the ski region Gstaad Saanenland in the Bernese Oberland at the east side of Lake Geneve. In recent years, Gstaad has grown into one of the top destination for guests who enjoy a luxurious winter vacation. Gstaad doesn’t fall short to resorts such as St. Moritz, Courchevel, Megeve and Lech. The slopes in the ski area are well-groomed and suitable for all levels of difficulty. Snowboarders can exercise their skills in the Snowpark Glacier 3000, located on an altitude of nearly 3000 m. The park offers several lines of a different difficulty with tables, rails as well as boxes. They get the adrenaline in every snowboarder and free skier going. There is also a run available for cross-country skiers.
