Getting there & around
Sustainable and memorable mobility on arrival and during your stay
Thanks to its central location in the heart of Europe and excellent transport links within Switzerland, the holiday region Gstaad is quick and easy to travel to. And with the public transport, the journey itself is already an memorable experience.
Those travelling from further afield should plan a longer visit: this enhances relaxation, protects the environment and strengthens local added value.
Locally, the public transport network connects all the villages and side valleys in the region and, thanks to the manageable size of the region, most destinations are within easy reach. By foot or even by bike for the adventurous in winter.
With the Gstaad Card, public transport in the region is free all year round for all overnight guests!
