Deep Snow At Top Ranked Gstaad
Published : 29-Mar-2013 02:41
Gstaad is currently boasting the deepest snow in the Alps at 510cm (17 feet) and is one of only five leading ski areas worldwide with a 5m+ base as we enter April. The ski season here will also continue in to May thanks to the Glacier 3000 ski area,
The glacier will host "freeridedays.ch" next weekend on 6 and 7 April when some of Europe's best pro riders and experienced mountain guides will take anyone signed up to try it on the day to check out the powder slopes on the glacier. Highlights will also include a big 2013-14 season ski test and the chance to abseil over 60 metres during a run. There'll also be a big party taking place in the evening.
Then the following weekend of 13 and 14 April, freestyle snowboarders from all over Switzerland will meet on the glacier for the season finale of the Audi Snowboard Series 2012/13.
Then live music and a good atmosphere await visitors on 20th April at the beach party in the Mountain Restaurant Oldegg and the après-ski event in the evening in the Rooster Bar Reusch.
Gstaad recently came out top in the "Best Swiss Luxury Hotel category", in a poll of 80,000 readers of the online portal Premium Switzerland.
The Grand Hotel Park took first place while a top 3 ranking in the "Best Spa Hotels" category was given to Gstaad Palace. Gstaad itself has been listed among the top 3 of "Best Luxury Resorts" and "Best Family Resorts."
