"Have lunch at Berghaus Wasserngrat which is the sister restaurant to 16 in Saanen. Others are Eggli with the new Club de Luge, the second members club (after the famed Eagles on Wasserngrat), and the largest ski area of Schönried, Saanenmöser, and Zweisimmen. If you are not a skier, you can rent snowshoes and polls at Brand Sport in town and hike up to Wasserngrat, should take you about 2 hours and you can take the chair lift down."

"Gstaad & its surroundings have many excellent hotels. One of my favorites is the Alpina Gstaad, which has a contemporary mountain design and an amazing SPA, the first Six Senses Spa in Switzerland."

"Le Grand Bellevue is one of the village’s oldest palace hotels and stands out with its primrose yellow and white facade, surrounded by beautiful parkland and forested mountains. It is also home to a Michelin-starred restaurant and the region’s most spectacular spa."

"One of the only family-owned and -operated hotels in Switzerland, guests are treated like extended members of the family (big names who have checked in here have included Louis Armstrong, Liz Taylor, and Marc Chagall). During World War II, the hotel housed other treasures: owing to its isolated location on the upper mountainside, the Swiss government hid a large portion of the country’s gold reserves in a two-story bunker at the hotel."

"For a more private option, you can now rent our 84 Club Chalet in the nearby village of Rougemont. The three-hundred-year-old farmhouse was completely renovated by our team this year and was already featured in several high-class magazines."

"Rössli in Feuterosey is one of Gstaad’s longest-standing restaurants, which has been owned by the Reichenbach family since 1919. And its signature dish? A legendary poached trout, which it still serves to this day. We also recommend the wiener schnitzel, eaten ideally on its beautiful terrace on a sunny winter’s day."

"Restaurant Sonnenhof on top of Saanen offers some of the best cuisine in the valley and a wonderful idyllic terrace. Expect honest Swiss-Italian-French inspired cuisine with first-class, seasonal top products, lovingly prepared and served."

"Le Cerf, Rougemont: Not far away in the French-speaking part of the Gstaad Valley you will find the exceptionally pretty village of Rougemont. In the heart of it is Le Cerf, a wonderfully cozy and authentic spot with a hearty menu and, as locals would have it, the best fondue and raclette, in the Alps. Get the Edgard fondue and finish off with wood-fired meringues with double alpine cream."

"16 in Saanen is my personal favourite restaurant, where the must-order is the cote de boeuf, paired with excellent wine advised by the sommelier, Simon."

"The Olden is a meeting place for bons vivants and gourmets. No expense is spared in serving you the most delicious and finest highlights of international cuisine. P.S. Don't look at the bill!"

"Don't miss a visit to Casa Gstaad, an interior design studio and showroom founded by Antonia Crespí that brings together an Alpine way of life with sophisticated, modern design. Hosting selected galleries, designers, and artists to showcase their projects in the chalet."
