Nestled in the Swiss Alps, the Alpina Gstaad offers an unrivaled blend of mountain charm, luxury, and serenity. Opened in 2012, the resort draws inspiration from the region’s alpine heritage, artfully fusing traditional Swiss architecture with modern design to create an ambiance of understated elegance and warmth.

Gstaad has long been a retreat for sophisticated travelers. The village, nestled between lush valleys and snow-capped mountains, radiates an irresistible allure. Unlike other alpine resorts, The Alpina has an unpretentious atmosphere, favored by those seeking both privacy and luxury. Exclusive boutiques, Michelin-starred restaurants, and world-class ski slopes make it the perfect destination for travelers seeking the finer things in life with an understated vibe.

At the heart of The Alpina’s offerings is its exceptional dining. Sommet, a Michelin-starred restaurant led by Chef Andreas Caminada, offers a culinary experience that blends modern Swiss cuisine with international flavors. The tasting menu celebrates local ingredients, with each dish crafted to reflect the unique terroir of the Swiss Alps.

The Six Senses Spa is another standout feature. Combining traditional Swiss treatments with cutting-edge wellness therapies, it offers a luxurious retreat with a focus on organic products and natural healing rituals. The spa also houses an indoor pool with panoramic mountain views, and the sauna and steam room provide a serene space to unwind after a day on the slopes or hiking trails.

The Alpina also provides a range of activities to suit every taste. In winter, guests can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, or a private ice rink, while in the summer, there are hikes, cycling tours, and paragliding experiences that offer the opportunity to explore the landscapes from new perspectives. Nearby, Glacier 3000 offers exhilarating snow-covered terrain, skiing, snowboarding, and a cable car ride with panoramic views of the Swiss Alps, including some of Europe’s highest peaks.

Gstaad’s timeless elegance, coupled with The Alpina’s sophisticated charm, make it the ultimate destination for those seeking a restorative and indulgent escape. Between stunning views, exceptional service and stand out amenities, it has earned a top spot as the ultimate retreat for those seeking the best of Swiss hospitality.
