Located in the heart of quaint Gstaad amid the snow-capped Swiss Alps, Le Grand Bellevue is an idyllic winter retreat. The hotel’s unrivalled position on the central promenade leaves guests just a hop, skip and jump from the festive markets and twinkling lights of the chocolate box town. Heading into their fourth winter season, the team at Le Grand Bellevue has perfected the art of curing the winter blues; from indulgent hot chocolates by a roaring fire to Michelin-starred cuisine, a 3000-square-metre spa for easing knotted muscles or whizzing down the slopes, there’s no better place to be this winter.
This winter season will see a new permanent downhill run at Mount Rellerli, lying between a red and blue run in terms of difficulty. The mountains will also form the backdrop for Elevation 1049, the latest winter show by Neville Wakefield and Olympia Scarry, featuring an international programme of music, performance and sound installations inspired by the power and dynamic of avalanches.
In advance of the winter season opening on 16 December Le Grand Bellevue has designed two brand new experiences to appeal both to guests seeking a quiet pamper by the piste and those looking to dance on the tables après ski.
Le Grand Detox
A trip to the mountains doesn’t have to mean endless fondue and vin chaud – Le Grand Bellevue’s brand new gourmet wellness package combines pampering spa treatments with delectable and detoxing Michelin-starred cuisine. After a day on the pistes, guests can find their zen with relaxing yoga classes and ease aching muscles with indulgent après ski massages in Le Grand Spa – one of the most extensive in the region and the only Swiss partner of organic British brand Bamford. Offering a holistic wellness package, guests can also tuck into gourmet, guilt-free dishes with a bespoke detox menu at Michelin-starred LEONARD’s restaurant.
Le Grand Bellevue offers the Le Grand Detox package from 3230 CHF for two people. This includes three nights in a deluxe chic room on a half board basis, with a specially designed gourmet detox menu, plus a spa treatment in Le Grand Spa, two yoga classes and two days of ski hire per person. Available from 16 to 22 December, 6 January to 9 February and 26 February to 1 April.
Le Grand Party
For party animals seeking the ultimate nightlife scene, Le Grand Bellevue has created a brand new party package for a long weekend of delicious hedonism. After checking into their sumptuous quarters, guests can head to bouquet, the hotel’s dark and decadent club, to dance the night away, Bellevue Smash in hand. The following morning, a hamper of recovery goodies delivered to the door will ease away any traces of sore heads, before guests tuck into a deliciously extensive brunch buffet and enjoy curative and indulgent spa treatments.
Le Grand Bellevue offers the Le Grand Party package from 2700 CHF for two people.
