Gstaad ski region – Enjoyable skiing and winter sports experiences
Zweisimmen, Saanenmöser, Gstaad or Glacier 3000
200 kilometers of slopes nestled between 1000 and 3000 m above sea level. The Gstaad vacation region stands for enjoyable skiing experiences on varied dream slopes. Charming chalet villages provide access to the various ski areas: family-friendly village ski lifts, kilometers of slopes and the only glacier ski area in the Bernese Oberland, where winter sports can be enjoyed from the end of October to the beginning of May.
Zweisimmen, Sannenmöser, Gstaad or Glacier 3000 - these are just a few of the ski resorts that are part of the Gstaad holiday region. The 200 kilometres of ski slopes offer the right experience for every skier: Glacier 3000 offers a glacier feeling, while fans of ski arenas will find the Rinderberg, Lengebrand, Saanerslochgrat, Hornberg and Horneggli just right. The Eggli-La Videmanette area is recommended for connoisseurs. The Tiger Run, the steepest slope, is on the Wasserngrat. The ski safari Rinderberg Ronda combines three mountains and valleys without using a piste or cable car twice.
The RegioExpress Bern – Spiez – Zweisimmen will take you from Berne to Zweisimmen in just 80 minutes without having to change trains.
