HUUS Hotel Gstaad
A mountainside hotel near Gstaad where Alpine-centre activities are built into the rate: biking, rafting, climbing and guided hikes, then a hearty meal.
HUUS (the name means home) delivers everything you would expect from a mountainside hotel near Gstaad, and then quietly adds more. Comfort and style are evenly matched here, and the building is designed so the outdoors is never more than a glance or a few steps away.
What sets it apart is the all-in approach to adventure. The hotel’s Alpine centre runs a full programme of activities, and they are included in the room rate rather than itemised at checkout: mountain biking, rafting, rock climbing and guided hikes with a local at your side. It is an arrangement that quietly encourages guests to do more than they might otherwise have planned.
The days, in other words, are built to get the adrenaline flowing. The evenings are built for the opposite. After an action-packed day on the mountain, there is nothing quite like returning to HUUS for a drink and a hearty meal, the hotel leaning, once again, into that idea of home.
The Saanenland setting handles the rest, with Gstaad’s village charm close by and the wider Bernese Oberland opening up in every season.
For active travellers who want their alpine stay to come with the adventure built in, HUUS Hotel Gstaad is a well-judged choice: a mountain hotel that sends you out and welcomes you back in equal measure.
