Getting there
Saanen station is one stop from Gstaad on the GoldenPass line, about three minutes by regional train. PostBus 183 also links the two in about seven minutes and carries on to Schönried station.
Skiing
Saanen hotels are not on the slopes, so a ski day starts with a short hop. The Eggli and Wispile gondolas are in Gstaad, one stop away, and Schönried's Horneggli lift is the way into the Rinderberg, Saanersloch and Horneggli area, the largest in the region. Some hotels run a shuttle to Saanen or Schönried station.
Guest card and tax
Hotels in Saanen give the Gstaad Card from the first night, with the Saani Card for children 6 to 12. It covers trains and PostBuses across the Saanenland. Ski passes and the Gstaad lifts are not included. A visitor's tax is charged per night.
Visitor's tax: CHF 5.80 per adult per night, plus a Canton of Bern lodging tax of CHF 1.00 per night. Ages 6 to 12 pay half; under 6 free. Source
