FOR KIDS
There’s no resort childcare for pre-ski babies and toddlers so chalet provision is required, or a nanny or babysitter. For skiing children there are secure learning areas and lots of good ski schools to choose from.

There’s also a large number of ski schools offering private or group lessons, and once basic technique is mastered, plenty of easy runs in each sector to progress on to.

APRES SKI & NIGHTLIFE
As with the other aspects of day-to-day life in Gstaad, the apres-ski scene is refined and under-stated with gourmet restaurants and sophisticated hotel lounge bars the evening norm.
Of course people do still want a drink when the slopes close and there are bars at the base of the slopes in the different sectors, it’s just with them being spread along the valet floor the crowds don’t gel together. Instead many head back to central Gstaad to meet up at venues in the centre near the station.
Later on the place to see and be seem is the GreenGo Club at the Gstaad Palace hotel, one of the longest surviving famous nightclubs of the asking world it first opened its doors in 1971, with its dance floor suspended above the hotel swimming pool and it has maintained the 70s décor to this day. It, and several other late night dance spots, are usually open to 4 or 5am.
MOUNTAIN RESTAURANTS
Berghaus Horneggli is a traditional Swiss mountain chalet, nearly 200 years old, with large terrace and great views from its location at 1,770 metres of altitude, right on the piste of Schönried’s local mountain. Great local dishes including fondue.
The Cosy Berghaus La Videmanette is perfectly located between the limestone towers of Mt. Rüeblihorn and La Videmanette and offers a fantastic panoramic view of the Bernese and Vaud Alps., ideally enjoyed from the sun terrace whilst eating a good meal.
The Bergrestaurant Rinderberg-Spitz located 2011m up at the top station of the Zweisimmen-Rinderberg gondola is located directly on the slopes and offers a good menu of local favourites to fill you up for the day.
IN RESORT RESTAURANTS
The Michelin-starred Chesery is something of a resort institution, am ancient cheese dairy converted to a restaurant by the Aga Khan in 1962. Chalet style though a little too kitsch in décor for some, the food appears deceptively simple and tastes fabulous. Unusually good vegetarian selection.
La Bagatelle is one of the most highly regarded in the village with dishes like sea bass and asparagus risotto particularly popular.
If you fancy something different to all that filling cheese and beef perhaps Megu, a contemporary sushi restaurant within the Alpina Hotel could be your answer.
SKI SCHOOLS
The Private Snowsports Team PSST provide unlimited access to over 7,000km (they’ve measured it!) of off piste runs in the region.
Gstaad Snowsports offer the full range of private and group lessons for children and adults. Lots of imaginative ideas including the 007 SnowAcademy for teens.
Alpinzentrum Gstaad Ski & Snowboardschool is based ion the largest sector, above Saanenmoser, and operates on specially reserved private slopes when teaching young children.
