Ski area Gstaad Mountain Rides
Thanks to the diverse pistes and an altitude of up to 3,016 m relatively snow-sure piste enjoyment is guaranteed. The pistes are suitable for freestylers, free riders, as well as carvers, but they are also perfect and well prepared for beginners and families. The ski swing Eggli - La Videmanette offers next to being a very beginner-friendly area a breathtaking mountain landscape. The black piste "Tigerrun" in comparison is just recommendable to pros! The highlight of the ski area is located in sector 2: The piste "Combe d'Audon" leads to Oldenalp, continues from Oldenegg to Reusch and covers an unbelievable altitude of 1,600 m.
The house ski area Rougemont-Saanen-Gstaad offers more than 57 km of pistes and 9 lifts. Most of the easy slopes are also very suitable for families.
