Engel & Völkers: Your Luxury Real Estate Expert in Bernese Oberland

​GSTAAD

Saanenland in the Bernese Oberland is one of the most popular winter and summer holiday destinations in Switzerland. A richly varied landscape, an outstanding infrastructure, a wide range of sports, shopping and leisure activities, first-class hotels and restaurants as well as renowned international schools attract top-class, discerning customers from all over the world. The region has therefore always enjoyed a stable real estate market without pronounced ups and downs. A slight increase in the price of residential property is recorded every year. The following construction boom, which was triggered by the secondary housing initiative and led to an increased supply of new buildings and thus to price pressure, is still noticeable. But the shortage of land, the lack of building permits and the instability of the financial markets are driving property prices in sought-after locations up again. A younger international group of buyers is increasingly recognizing real estate in Gstaad's Oberbort district, around the Promenade or in charming Saanen with its historic village centre as a secure investment opportunity with a high standard of living.

The region has a further 9 chalet villages alongside Gstaad, located at an altitude of between 1,000 and 1,400 metres. Yet despite its style and class, Gstaad has remained genuinely Alpine and down-to-earth. It is proud of its tradition and lives and breathes it every day.

Over a thousand cultural and sporting events are available to visitors every year, including top events with an international reputation. In addition, visitors will find first-class hotels, outstanding shopping facilities along the traffic-free promenade and an airport in Saanen.
