The Glacier Hotel in Les Diablerets puts you on the snow from the door, across the road from the cable cars. Five more are a short walk from a lift, from Hotel Arc-en-Ciel by the Eggli gondola in Gstaad to Golfhotel Les Hauts de Gstaad by the Saanersloch gondola. None of the Gstaad five-star hotels is ski-in ski-out; they run shuttles to the lifts instead.
Are any of the five-star hotels in Gstaad ski-in ski-out?
No. Gstaad Palace, The Alpina, Le Grand Bellevue and Ultima all sit in or above the village and take guests to the lifts by shuttle. Le Grand Bellevue says so in as many words: it is not ski-in ski-out.
Which ski-in ski-out hotel suits families?
The Glacier Hotel has apartments for up to six, opposite the Les Diablerets lifts. In Gstaad, Hotel Arc-en-Ciel has a playroom and is about a minute on foot from the Eggli gondola.
Where can I stay right by the Glacier 3000 cable car?
The cable car leaves from Col du Pillon, a few minutes’ drive above Les Diablerets. The nearest hotels are in Les Diablerets and Gsteig, five to eight minutes away by car.
