We are extending the ski season!
Due to the good conditions and good weather, Glacier 3000 is extending the ski season, which was supposed to end normally at the end of April, until Saturday, May 3, 2025 inclusive.
From 1 May, the following slopes will be open: Scex Rouge, Dome, Red Run and Martisberg. The ski lifts of Tzanfleuron and Quille will have to be closed due to planned maintenance work, as well as the Combe d'Audon slope due to the risk of avalanche.
For holders of a 2024/25 winter season pass including Glacier and holders of a Magic Pass 2024/25 or 2025/26, a special price is offered for the day pass of CHF 40.00 adults and CHF 20 children. Only the Glacier 3000 summer option offers free access to the Glacier 3000 ski area.
Set in the Bernese Oberland, Gstaad offers a refined alpine experience with a combination of relaxed elegance and accessible skiing. The resort forms part of the larger Gstaad Mountain Rides ski region, known for its scenic countryside and dependable snow conditions—averaging 409 cm annually, with extensive snowmaking coverage enhancing reliability. Gstaad presents 200 hectares of skiable terrain, 75 pistes, and 47 lifts serving a balanced range of difficulty levels, ideal for families, leisurely skiers, and those refining their skills.
Families will find plenty of thoughtful features throughout the resort, such as well-organised beginner zones, snow gardens, and ski schools designed for younger children. Spacious gondolas and surface lifts cater to ease of movement across sectors, while safe village pathways and leisure facilities add appeal for non-skiers. Gentle pistes near Saanenmöser provide a soft entry into skiing, complemented by panoramic restaurant terraces and walking routes that encourage wider enjoyment of the setting.
What makes Gstaad attractive is its dual identity: alpine tranquillity paired with subtle sophistication. While the slopes offer a peaceful rhythm, the village itself is home to boutique shops, gourmet dining, and cultural venues. Visitors choose Gstaad for a well-paced ski holiday where scenic charm, family-friendly features, and top-tier hospitality converge with quiet confidence.
