Chalet Gstaad Ridge

A Historic Chalet Reimagined in Gstaad

Originally built by Prince Karim Aga Khan IV as a private residence for visiting friends and family, the chalet brings rare heritage to Gstaad. Today, it has been reimagined as an elegant Alpine retreat where historic character meets contemporary design.

Set directly on the Promenade in Gstaad, the property enjoys one of the resort’s most sought-after positions while preserving the warmth of a private mountain home. Spanning 1,500 square metres, it balances grandeur with comfort for winter stays, summer escapes, and family gatherings.

Space for Gathering and Privacy

Designed for up to 20 guests, the chalet unfolds across four floors in a way that allows communal living and privacy to sit comfortably side by side.

The main living spaces are arranged for both entertaining and quieter moments. Two generous living rooms open onto a wraparound terrace, while a double-height dining room and well-positioned kitchen bring both scale and practicality to the heart of the home.

A Dedicated Floor for Wellness and Leisure

One of the chalet’s defining features is its lower-ground floor, dedicated almost entirely to wellness and recreation. This level creates a more immersive atmosphere, the spa is finished in black Saharan marble and includes spaces designed for relaxation, fitness, and evening entertainment.

.A cinema and entertainment space further expand the chalet’s appeal, making it easy to shift from restorative retreat to lively social setting.

Interiors with Alpine Poise

The chalet’s historic shell remains central to its identity, while the interiors introduce a polished and contemporary perspective. The result feels neither rustic nor overly formal, but layered, composed, and distinctly Alpine.

This balance suits Gstaad particularly well, where discretion and elegance define the atmosphere. Rich materials, generous proportions, and a sense of privacy give the chalet a refined yet welcoming character.

Fully Serviced Alpine Living

The stay is shaped by a fully staffed service model that combines the ease of a private residence with the polish of a luxury retreat.

The overall experience feels personalised, flexible, and quietly attentive.

The Gstaad Setting

Positioned at the centre of Gstaad’s village life, with boutiques, restaurants, and the resort’s understated glamour close at hand. At the same time, the mountains remain a constant presence in every season.

Winter brings skiing, heliskiing, and snow-filled landscapes, while summer opens the region to hiking, water-based activities, and long days outdoors in the Bernese Oberland. With Saanen Private Airport nearby and Geneva within easy reach, the setting is both scenic and convenient.

A Rare Private Retreat in the Swiss Alps

The chalet stands out for its scale, location, and the range of experiences it offers under one roof.

For guests seeking a substantial private chalet with genuine provenance, generous wellness facilities, and seamless service, it offers a deeply considered Alpine retreat in the heart of Gstaad.
