THE WALIG HUT – A HIDEAWAY IN THE MOUNTAINS

Since this summer the Gstaad Palace has a new spot in the mountains where authenticity, history and nature all blend into one – The Walig Hut.

This charming hut is located above Gsteig at 1700 meters and offers breathtaking views of Gstaad and the Saanenland. It was built in 1786 and like many others, was home to the farmers in the summer when the cows are brought up to pasture.

Unfortunately, there are very few of them left and it is most difficult to acquire them as they are either derelict or still used by the farmers. So out of respect for this beautiful tradition, the Walig hut underwent only a mild renovation and its simplicity has been maintained.

Whether for a lunch (4-80 people) or a dinner (4-14 people) or even an overnight stay (max. 2 adults and 2 children), the beauty and the calm capture you within minutes and it is very hard to leave this magical point.
Lunch including luxury picnic with

bread, cheese, cold cuts, salad, fruits, desert, coffee, Swiss wine & mineral water

Dinner including 3 course menu (starter, simple main course, desert), coffee, Swiss wine & mineral water

Alpine night for 2 adults including a 3 course dinner for 2 people or for 2 people and 2 children.
