The hotel was everything we expected and more! From arriving and finding our mains adapters wouldn't fit the Swiss outlets (they simply reached into a draw and gave us 2 adapters for our use) to providing a small jug of milk so we could make tea in our room...no charge for these little extras, they were provided as though it was a natural part of the service! The snow walking, once you got high enough to find snow, was wonderful! We had some sunny days & so the views from the top of mountains around Gstaad were exceptional!
The Glacier 3000 experience, although costly to get up to the top (remember to use the Gstaad card for a 20% discount, which was not mentioned in any information, we only found out by asking at the cable car kiosk) was amazing! The peak to peak walk was exhilarating but you had to be prepared for people bumping into you as they went the other way - the bridge is narrow! The Glacier Walk was lovely, but harder than expected! The little refuge serving food & drinks at the end was very welcome and the views stunning! Make sure to go to the railings at the back...the sudden drop view into the valley takes you breath away!
Our highlights were a snowshoe walk over the pass at Chrine to Gsteig and the round trip over the top of Rellerli including the high point of Hugeli. A lower level walk that we enjoyed was the balcony route from Saanenmoser to Gstaad via Turbach. The food at the hotel was also exceptional.
Useful information is that, while there is a range of different walks in the area, most require travel by postbus and train/bus. This year, there was very limited snow (which is apparently very unusual) but, as it did snow on the first night, we could enjoy a full range of walks at different altitudes, some in snow and some not. Because of the snow conditions, the Wilspile gondola was closed which was a shame. It is also useful to know from the Gstaad website which walking routes are closed - the hotel explained that this was because of icy conditions so we didn't attempt them.
Walks in the Alps were well signposted with easy access by bus or rail. Good maps available at Tourist offices plus information on open/closed lifts due to weather conditions. Food, wines and sevice at hotel restaurant were excellent as well as impessive sauna facility.
