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.

Starting at Wispile, the path winds through meadows dotted with wildflowers, leading to Lauenensee’s twin lakes 14 km later. Banks and benches have been smartly placed for breaks, snacks, or a paddle. The trail is well marked, with a cable car back to Gstaad for those wanting to skip the descent. Families and walkers of most abilities can take in long‐lasting lake views without too much of a commitment to a strenuous high‐altitude climb.

One of Gstaad Palace’s most recognisable dinner rooms, filled with crisp white linens, polished silverware and subtle tableside theatrics. Think Chateaubriand carved at the table and salt‐crusted sea bass deboned on the platter. A broad European‐leaning wine list with Swiss representation complements the classics. Evenings draw a smart crowd who know exactly why they come, and what to order. It remains one of the village’s most booked dinner reservations.

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.
