Sutrelia / Destinations / Gstaad
Alpine · Bernese Oberland · Swiss Alps
A car-free chalet village where old money skis quietly, dines at the Palace and summers to Menuhin concerts and polo.
When to go
Ski season mid-December to March; summer season late June to early September for hiking, polo and the Menuhin Festival. Many hotels close between seasons.
Getting there
Geneva 2h or Bern-Belp 1h15 by private transfer; Zurich 2h45. Saanen-Gstaad airfield handles private jets and helicopters; the GoldenPass panoramic train from Montreux is a scenic alternative.

Hotels and chalets, private transfers and helicopters, restaurant reservations, guides, events and everything in between — on one WhatsApp thread.
