70th Gstaad Menuhin Festival & Academy I July 16 – September 5, 2026|
What began in 1957 with two concerts by the legendary violinist Yehudi Menuhin in the church of Saanen has today become one of the largest classical music festivals in Switzerland: the Gstaad Menuhin Festival. Artistic Director Christoph Müller has successfully led the festival into the 21st century with an attractive combination of tradition and innovation, stars and young talents, as well as chamber music and symphonic concerts. The over 60 concerts take place in the atmospheric and acoustically outstanding churches of the Saanenland, the Pays-d’Enhaut, and the Obersimmental, as well as in the elegant festival tent in Gstaad. A high-caliber offering of masterclasses rounds off the picture.

From February, 2026, all other concerts can be booked online and at the official ticket sales outlets.
