General information
Gstaad is best suited to beginners and intermediates, but don't expect a cheap
holiday here. The skiing is split into three distinct areas, although the lift system
makes getting around easy. You will probably need to catch the frequent ski bus
to start skiing, though. The resort doesn't boast many black runs, but there's some
challenging skiing nonetheless. A big plus is easy access to the glacier at Les
Diablerets. Opportunities for snowboarding are adequate, and cross country skiers
are well-catered for.
