Artistic Highlights
Leica Camera Photography Workshops
Led by a skilled photographer and suited to all levels, these five-person, five-hour workshops take place in the breathtaking Saanenland landscape. Explore photography using the renowned Leica Q3 camera with a mix of theory and hands-on experience. Guests will be sustained by a picnic, petits-fours and an aperitive, and travel comfortably into the mountains in a Mercedes V-Class. Private and group workshops are available.
Inspiring Art Workshops
Guests can discover their inner artist with these new five-person, two-hour workshops in the garden setting of the Jean Prouvé House, led by acclaimed artists from diverse backgrounds. Using materials from the world-renowned Maison Caran d’Ache and with the Alps as their muse, guests will explore new techniques to express their creative vision. Private and group workshops are available.
Maison Caran d’Ache at The Tree House Club
Especially for younger guests, The Tree House Club transforms into a wonderland of imagination this summer as Maison Caran d’Ache provides a spectrum of vibrant colours and premium materials to ignite the creativity of every young artist. Budding Picassos will also be invited to add their strokes to an XXL fresco, creating an ever-evolving tapestry.

Culinary Highlights
Cool Off at The Pool Bar
As the thermometer rises, guests can cool down with homemade ice creams and sorbets from a new miniature scooter and trailer by The Alpina Gstaad’s very own gelato maestro. The Pool Bar is open daily from 12 noon to 6 pm.
Sommet by Martin Göschel
The restaurant has been introduced in Les Grandes Tables de Suisse, an association of chefs who have the same common goal of promoting the hospitality industry and gastronomic cuisine in Switzerland at the national and international levels. Chef Martin Göschel has eliminated all non-Swiss seafood, shellfish, meat and dairy products from his menu. This aligns perfectly with The Alpina Gstaad’s sustainability goals: reducing the environmental impact of the restaurant’s supply chain, supporting Swiss producers and breeders, fostering community, and promoting Swiss culinary heritage. Sommet by Martin Göschel is open Tuesday to Saturday from 7 pm, and is closed Sunday to Monday.
