This high ridge cuts through open pasture and sparse forest, delivering wide, 360‐degree mountain views. Summer wildflowers line the traversing trail while winter sees compacted snowshoe tracks underfoot. It suits fit walkers after a heart‐pumping climb, with joyful wildlife sightings common along the way. Book lunch afterwards at the Wasserngrat restaurant - or Eagle Ski Club, if you’re lucky enough to know a member - to round things off properly.

Sitting at the top of the Horneggli lift, this relaxed mountain restaurant is a dependable stop for generous alpine flavours. Portions are large, making it a favourite cold-weather pit stop. Rösti is the regular order – especially with a fried egg or veal sausage on top – but pairing with an oversized salad alongside is the welcome combo break from too many fried favourites. It’s then only a swish to the slopes from there.

Founded in 1957, this private members’ club sits high on Wasserngrat with a glamorous reputation. The menu leans firmly Swiss, with fondue constantly bubbling on tables, while live music often drives a buzzy lunchtime scene. Long waitlists, strict fees and a roll call of royal and celebrity visitors reinforce its status as one of Gstaad’s most storied and sought-after dining rooms.

The gallery’s relationship with Gstaad began with seasonal shows at the Vieux Chalet and has since expanded through local collaborations and appointment‐only exhibitions. Past programmes, including Calder in the Alps, underline a thoughtful approach to context and place. Visits feel intimate rather than too formal, making it a quietly influential stop for those tracking contemporary and modern art beyond major city circuits.
