Did somebody say ‘cheese’?

In beautiful Gstaad, also known as Fondueland, there is nothing better than enjoying a delicious fondue surrounded by the picturesque mountain scenery. The cheese made here gets its distinctive flavour from the fresh Alpine air, lush grass and herbs. For an unforgettable experience in good company amid breathtaking panoramic views, we have four giant caquelons and two huts available that can accommodate up to eight people. The retro-look fondue rucksack has all the ingredients you need for this irresistible outdoor experience, and can be pre-ordered from local dairies.

During the 45-minute cheese trail hike, all walks of life can learn interesting facts about traditional cheese production. The tour starts at the Berghaus Wispile mountain restaurant, which has a large adventure playground and petting zoo, and finishes at the middle station. From here, grab a scooter and whizz down into the valley.

The Gstaad Züglete (a cattle drive from the Alpine pastures down into the valley) is an absolute highlight of the region’s annual calendar. This event gives visitors the opportunity to admire the cows and munis (bulls) adorned with their magnificent cowbells and headdresses. Various clubs and activities are on hand to enrich the event – from cowbell clubs and yodelling clubs to cheese sellers and cheese tasting, there is plenty to discover and enjoy. This is an unforgettable experience that gives attendees an insight into the culture and traditions of mountain farmers in the holiday region Gstaad.
