Ultima Gstaad Promenade – a winter retreat in the Swiss Alps

Set to open later this year, Switzerland-based Ultima’s newest property, Ultima Gstaad Promenade, offers an extraordinary winter escape in the heart of Gstaad, an upscale resort town in the Swiss Alps.

Located along the iconic promenade, this expansive private chalet features eight-bedroom suites, a self-contained guest house, and luxurious living areas with a wrap-around balcony and an open fireplace.

Guests can unwind in the wellness area, which includes a spa, sauna, indoor pool, and Hammam, or enjoy the entertainment spaces, complete with a cinema, playroom, arcade, and bar.

Skiers of all levels will find their paradise, from gentle runs perfect for beginners to challenging black runs like the Mike-von-Grünigen Run in Horneggli.

Gstaad’s winter events, such as the New Year Music Festival and Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad, add to the allure with world-class performances in a breathtaking alpine setting.

Adventure seekers can enjoy dog sledding through the Swiss Alps or a romantic moonlit carriage ride through Gstaad’s elegant streets.
