Anyone looking for respite from everyday life in the Saanenland will find at the Golfhotel Les Hauts de Gstaad & SPA a place where alpine warmth, good food and wellness come together in a particularly relaxed way.
The four-star superior chalet hotel in Saanenmöser stands at 1,279 metres, right next to the GoldenPass station, making it the ideal base from which to explore the Gstaad holiday region. The moment you step inside it becomes clear why the motto “Home away from Home” is more than an advertising line. Natural timber, traditional Saanen papercut motifs and a warm, family atmosphere run through the whole hotel. The 57 rooms and suites look out on the mountains, many of them from a private balcony.
The kitchen has plenty to offer too. The elegant Belle Epoque restaurant serves gourmet menus and regional specialities, while the Möserstube scores with its panoramic view. Things are at their most atmospheric in the rustic Bärengraben, where historic wall paintings tell stories of tourism in the Saanenland of old. Anyone who likes it classically Swiss should not miss a fondue or raclette in the Chalet Le Gessenay.
The heart of the house, though, is the 1,000-square-metre spa. A range of saunas, a steam bath, an ice fountain, a Kneipp zone, a swimming pool and numerous treatment rooms make even rainy days a highlight. A visit is worthwhile in summer and winter alike: in summer there are hiking trails, bike routes and the Gstaad Saanenland golf course just five minutes away. In winter, cross-country tracks, ski slopes and mountain railways wait practically outside the hotel door.
