Glacier 3000 Piste Map and Overview
Glacier 3000 offers high-altitude skiing with reliable snow and dramatic alpine scenery. It’s the highest skiing area near Gstaad and is perfect for advanced skiers seeking long descents and glacier terrain. The slopes vary from wide cruising runs to challenging steep sections, and there are opportunities for off-piste adventures and freeride zones. The area is also famous for its panoramic glacier views and the iconic Peak Walk by Tissot, a suspension bridge connecting two peaks over the glacier.
While Glacier 3000 is less beginner-friendly than other Gstaad resorts, it does offer some gentler slopes for intermediate skiers and snowboarders. The lifts are modern, including cable cars and gondolas that quickly transport skiers to high-altitude runs. On-slope restaurants and facilities provide a comfortable base to enjoy the dramatic scenery and rest between runs.
