Skiing stops at the edge of the slopes, but not the day in the snow! Cosy mountain lodges and inviting sun terraces, snow bars with good music and wonderful views onto the surrounding Alps guarantee a huge portion of the feel-good factor. After countless kilometres of runs and ski lift rides, the day comes to an end in a wonderful atmosphere. With a hot drink in your hand, you watch the sunset over Gstaad and take in the beauty of the picturesque Simmen Valley and Saanenland – the perfect way to end the day in the outdoor paradise.

 

Learning areas

Families in the western Bernese Oberland also benefit from the learning areas, which also include a range of easy slopes. Children easily and playfully learn how to ski or handle their snowboard and even make their first turns. Young children, for example, gain their first experiences at Snowliland in Zweisimmen, Schönried, Saanenmöser or Gstaad. Afterwards, the T-bar lifts are no longer an obstacle. Whether alone or with the local ski school – thanks to the learning parks, the whole family is on the slopes in no time. Next stop – Snow Park or a black run?
