Gstaad Offers Covid Guarentees
There is currently uncertainty among the population about planning winter holidays. To counteract this, the Destination Gstaad offers new, secure booking conditions for planning your winter stay: All mountain railways, ski schools and the majority of hotels now offer a return guarantee. Services booked today will be refunded or credited in the event of a new, officially ordered lockdown in connection with COVID-19. The advance sale of the ski season ticket is already open - guests can purchase the ski passes until December 15, 2020 at the advance sale price.
The precautionary measures to protect the population in connection with the pandemic also occupy people when planning their winter stay in the Swiss mountains. In order to give its guests more planning security, the Gstaad Marketing Organization initiated a uniform solution together with all mountain railways, ski schools and a majority of the hotels. «Our destination stands together behind this idea. The uniform return guarantee enables Gstaad to offer guests more security when planning, ”says Claudia von Siebenthal, Head of Marketing Communication, as the project initiator. The overview of all participating hotels with the booking options and conditions is available at www.gstaad.ch/winterhimmel.
The advance sale of the ski season pass for the Gstaad destination and the top 4 pass for the Gstaad, Adelboden-Lenk, Jungfrau Skiregion and Meiringen-Hasliberg ski areas will run until December 15, 2020. Day and multi-day tickets are already available at flexible prices get booked. This winter, too, if you book earlier, you can benefit from lower prices. Tickets bought online are always cheaper. In addition, when booking in the web shop, queuing at the checkout can be avoided and the return guarantee applies in the event of a lockdown.
"We are aware that the mountain railways will face new challenges this winter", states Matthias In-Albon, Managing Director Bergahnen Destination Gstaad (BDG). "Nevertheless, I am optimistic about the future and I am convinced that, thanks to the investments made in recent years and with new offers such as the Eggli mountain restaurant, we can again welcome numerous guests". In recent years, the BDG has increased the attractiveness of the ski area with new lifts and snow-making systems. In order to be able to offer the guests a more comfortable and attractive winter sports offer, high investments were made. As a result, the prices for seasonal subscriptions will be slightly adjusted this winter: the Top 4 subscription now costs CHF 777 in all four ski regions and the season subscription for locals costs CHF 599.
Gstaad is a pleasure destination and is also offering winter guests new offers in the coming season away from the slopes. Winter hikers, snowshoe and touring skiers as well as sledging fans can look forward to the new Eggli mountain restaurant. The opening is planned for the start of the winter season on December 19, 2020.
