Luxury Ski Chalet Rentals in Gstaad
Traditional chalets in the most discreetly elegant village in the Alps
As featured in
Quiet elegance in the Bernese Oberland
Gstaad has spent a century being the Alpine village the very wealthy choose when they would rather not be seen choosing it. Strict building rules mean every house is a traditional wooden chalet, the main street is a car-free promenade of boutiques and cafés, and the whole Saanenland feels more like a prosperous farming valley than a ski resort.
Our Gstaad collection includes 8 chalets in Gstaad and the surrounding Saanenland villages, from traditional chalets to grand chalets with spas and staff.
Here is a guide to Gstaad and its skiing.
