Gstaad

A car-free promenade, a glacier with a suspension bridge, and no high-rises anywhere.

Gstaad kept its chalet-scale building rules and its car-free high street, which is why it looks the way it does. Glacier 3000 gives it altitude and the Peak Walk suspension bridge; the polo, the Menuhin Festival and the fondue trail fill the rest of the calendar.
