Gstaad Piste Map and Overview
Gstaad tops the list of fantastic ski and snowboard destinations in the Swiss Alps thanks to its wonderfully varied and scenic terrain. With a total of around 200 km (124 miles) of ski slopes spread across several linked areas – from the family-friendly Eggli and Wispile sectors to the high-altitude snow sure terrain of Glacier 3000 – there’s something for every level of rider. The resort’s charm lies in its combination of wide, well-groomed pistes perfect for cruising and breathtaking alpine views that make every run feel special. You’ll find peaceful tree-lined blues for beginners and cruisy intermediates, plus steeper descents and freeride opportunities around the glacier that keep snowboarders and advanced skiers coming back for more.
Beyond the slopes, Gstaad’s unique blend of laid-back village life and Swiss mountain sophistication sets it apart. The ease of moving between the different ski areas using efficient ski lifts, buses, or even scenic train rides adds a delightful sense of adventure to your ski holiday. Whether you’re carving long blue runs at Eggli, exploring the extensive Rinderberg-Saanerslochgrat sector, or chasing snow at higher altitudes on Glacier 3000, the diversity of terrain makes this a standout choice for both skiing and snowboarding.

Is it good for beginners?
With plenty of gentle blue runs and excellent ski schools this make it very beginner-friendly, especially areas like Wispile and Eggli.
Does the ski pass allow you to access the larger ski area?
A standard Gstaad Mountain Rides ski pass covers the main Gstaad ski area including Rinderberg, Eggli, Wispile and more, and most multi-day passes also include access to Glacier 3000. You don’t need separate passes for each area, though day tickets for individual small zones (like Gsteig or Lauenen) are available.
What’s included in the Ski Pass?
The main Gstaad Mountain Rides ski pass gives you access to multiple ski sectors around Gstaad — from gentle beginner slopes at Wispile and Eggli to the extensive intermediate terrains of Rinderberg-Saanerslochgrat and the high alpine Glacier 3000 area.
Does it include multiple resorts?
The Gstaad Mountain Ride ski pass includes multiple resorts and sectors under one ticket for multi-day passes, so you’re not limited to just one small area.
Are there options for cheaper ski passes?
There are options for cheaper, limited tickets for individual sectors (such as local tickets for Gsteig or Lauenen), but for full access to the whole ski area — especially Glacier 3000 — you’ll want the standard multi-day pass rather than smaller isolated tickets.
