This festival of classical music is regarded as one of the best concert series in Switzerland. When selecting the artists the organisers have only one criterion in mind: quality. Every year musicians of world standing do the honours here. The Festival's stated aim is to achieve a soothing symbiosis of art, human contact and nature. The exquisite programme features around 50 concerts from July to September.

• Lord Yehudi Menuhin (1916 – 1999), a most gifted musician, philosopher, philanthropist and honorary citizen of the Municipality of Saanen, founded this Festival in Gstaad in 1956. Its quality is such that it enjoys an outstanding reputation today among connoisseurs and music lovers alike.
