Gstaad, Switzerland

Gstaad-Saanenland, which means "Sunland", is a very popular holiday destination for summer as well as for winter with great scenery at an ideal altitude of 3609 feet and healthy climate all year round, Gstaad is situated in the western Bernese Oberland in Switzerland.

Thanks to strict building regulations the wooden houses in Gstaad are built in the lovely traditional chalet-style that harmonize perfectly with the beautiful mountain scenery. In the villages of the Saanenland tradition is featured strongly. The trademark spicy Saanen cheese has been produced for some three hundred years and handcraft such as pottery, woodcarving and alphornmaking are still alive in the region.
