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.
