small, expensive
In a nutshell
the alps
globetrott Says: This church is in a sidestreet from the main street through Gstaad and I saw it just from the distance and could not find the street to the gate of this church. Take a look at the photo, the tower is in the centre of the building and the church might be on the left, and on...
globetrott Says: The Gstaad Palace-hotel was built on a hill above Gstaad and so you can see it from almost any place in town and also from all surrounding villages. It looks a bit like a castle and it also has a large park around of it. I really dont like to stay in this type of giant...
globetrott Says: That is a really lovel well right in the centre of Gstaad and it was funny to see a sculpture of a calf there. When I had been at that well, I could even hear the cowbells and within a few minutes all of the square was filled with cows, coming back from the alpine pastures....
globetrott Says: In Switzerland you can mostly read the year, when that the building was constructed right under the roof like with the house in my main photo. All of the facades will have inscriptions and decorations and the windows will have covers,that could be closed in wintertime and...

COOP: small & not really perfect
globetrott Says: COOP and MIGROS-restaurants are mostly a great way to save money in Switzerland when you are on a budget ! There is a MIGROS, that does not have a restaurant in Gstaad, but COOP has one and I got there at 04.30pm. ALL of the warm dished had been taken away already at that...
charlies tearoom: CHOCOLATE HEAVEN
SORHUS Says: here is the place to relax with hot chocolate or tea...( dont recomend coffie anywhere in swiss..or atleast where we tried it...very weak) and not forget the chocolate cakes and the pies with diffrent fruits...all i can say is ...YUMMY to much to choose from but start with...
Richi's Pub: Smokey but fun place for good Weissbeer
firechick Says: This is a locals hangout that previously was full of older men, and not much else! But now with new management (same owners) they are attracting a younger crowd. Pool table, outdoor patio area in summer provides relief from smoke, which gets very thick inside. Not...
globetrott Says: The Golden Pass Panoramic is one of the famous trains in Switzerland and I am not really sure whether I should recommend to book it !First of all, you need to reserve it and not everybody with a reservation will also get these great panorama-wagons with extra windows on...
globetrott Says: Driving in your car to Gstaad is really very easy on a side-road between Spietz in the north and Montreux in the south. This is a winding road but no pass-road and mostly it is quite flat. The closest highway is eighter at Montreux and Vevey or at Bulle, at the other side of...
Station Shop: International press
Manara Says: When I arrived in Gstaad by train I noticed that the station's shop seemed to have a much wider choice of magazines and newspapers than any other similar shops in the other villages I had visited. A quick browsing confirmed this impression, and I found a wide choice of...
Rolex..etc...: if you want to spend $50K on a watch
Pounder73 Says: Visa, don't leave home without it. if you have to ask, you can't afford it.
globetrott Says: Almabtrieb is once a year, at the end of the summerseason, when the cows and goats will be taken from the higher alps back to the farms down in the valleys. Mostly the cows will be taken in large groups through the village, all animals decorated like in my photos and also...
Manara Says: One of the things I noticed during a walk in Gstaad was the considerable number of banks. I soon found out that there are even more than those I had actually seen: 30 banks in total, most of them branches of big investment banks. Considering that the village has about 2500...
iammon Says: Always check the menu before you sit down in a restaurant. Even if it looks like the most ordinary Swiss Restaurant the prices might be highly exaggerated.
globetrott Says: Château-d'Oex is an interesting village closeby Gstaad and it is well known for annual ballooning-events. It was also from Château-d'Oex that Bertrand Piccard started to circumnavigate the earth in 1999 with the ballon "Breitling Orbiter III" . There is a Balloon-museum and...
globetrott Says: Erlenbach im Simmental is in quite a distance to Gstaad, BUT I thought I list it here, because it is situated directely along the only road going from Gstaad to Spiez and you will pass by there on your way to the Jungfrau-Region. The train to Spiez will stop there as well,...
Rougemont - the church & the castle
globetrott Says: The castle of Rougemont is private and off limits for tourists, but it really looks very interesting also from outside. The church next to it is worth to take a look inside, it has a very special character of its interior. I was lucky to be able to slip inside shortly before...
globetrott Says: Rougemont is a scenic village that you will pass through, when driving from Gstaad to Gruyeres. Take a stop, park your car at the church and take a little walk into the village that offers some really great wooden houses and it even had some great decorations in the street...
Hiking from Château d'Oex to Gstaad
genevadavid Says: The Sarine (French) / Saane (German) river is the unofficial linguistic border between Switzerland's French and German speaking regions. Château d'Oex is in French-speaking Switzerland, in the canton of Vaud. Gstaad is in the German-speaking part of the canton of Bern. Only...
Hiking from Château d'Oex to Gstaad
genevadavid Says: Château d'Oex is in French-speaking Switzerland, in the canton of Vaud. Gstaad is in the German-speaking part of the canton of Bern. Only 16 kilometers between them. There are a couple of well-marked paths between the two places, and the trip is easily done in 3-4 hours. The...
