Delicacies in an Alpine idyll


Gstaad is a place for bons vivants. In this holiday destination, visitors experience a unique mix of nature, wellness and challenging leisure activities in the areas of sport and culture. Those who prefer delicacies have come to the right place.


No other region spoils its visitors as much as Gstaad does when it comes to wining and dining. More than 100 restaurants ranging from cosy raclette restaurants to gourmet restaurants are sure to tantalise your taste buds. The renowned Gault Millau restaurant guide awarded lastly 13 restaurants in the region a total of 191 points, a new record.

Local and international cuisine
Despite its extensive, world-famous range of offers for tourists, the region has kept its genuine Alpine character. It is showcased by a series of about 80 alps, which are home to around 100 dairies that are happy to receive visitors. Those who prefer international cuisine will also be pleasantly surprised. It ranges from French to Italian, Asian and Oriental cuisine. Coffee houses and tea rooms enrich the gastronomic flair of Gstaad.

Wellness rounds off the offering
The offers in the area of wellness and spa round off the culinary experiences. There is extensive infrastructure to escape from daily stress. It is not for nothing that Gstaad is one of the leaders in Switzerland in this respect, and was awarded with the label “Wellness Destination” from the swiss tourisme assembly. Five hotels leave nothing to be desired with their complete range of traditional wellness and spa facilities. Many other hotels complement their offerings with Alpine forms of wellness, such as barefoot walks and hay or whey baths.

Unique combination
It is the combination which gives Gstaad its unique character. The holiday region with its wide range of outdoor and leisure activities provides a deliberate counterpoint to our increasingly hectic daily lives.
