Our Fondue Highlights

In Gstaad, there's nothing better than savouring a delicious fondue in the heart of the mountains. Melted cheese has always had a firm place in the hearts of the people of Saanen and is a must-try when visiting Gstaad. Here are our top tips for a great fondue experience in the Gstaad holiday region.

With the fondue backpack in the fondue country

The delicious Gstaad fondue is packed in a nostalgic rucksack, equipped with everything you need for a good cheese fondue. You can order such a fondue rucksack in advance from the regional dairies. On various hiking trails you will come across a total of 4 oversized fondue caquelons or fondue huts with unrivalled panoramic views, where you can enjoy a delicious fondue. With the Gstaad Card you get a piece of cheese for free. A great offer for young and old. (Bookable for two or more people)

Michel's stable pub

As the name suggests, you can sit in the Michel family's Stallbeizli and watch Simmental cows, calves and goats through the shop windows. You can also enjoy a delicious homemade fondue or raclette. For an even more exclusive experience, you can enjoy your fondue or raclette during an unforgettable round trip on a horse-drawn sleigh through the snow-covered Saanenland.
