Slow traffic to slow down
During one overnight stay in the holiday region Gstaad, you will receive the digital guest card, the Gstaad Card. With the guest card, public transport (train & bus) in the holiday region is included. A highlight is certainly the train journey on the GoldenPass Express, the panorama or nostalgic train. Almost everything on offer in the region is easy and uncomplicated to reach by public transport. Or why not try a bike, e-bike or walk?
