We woke up this morning to a winter wonderland! The view from the balcony off our hotel room was amazing. It looked like the entire village of Gstaad had been dipped in white frosting. After breakfast, we went for a walk around town.
Gstaad is best known for its skiing and spas. While a few slopes were open during our visit, many of the luxury spas were closed (the high season was still a couple weeks away). The Palace Hotel -- perched on a nearby hill, towering over the tiny village like Mad Ludwig's castle -- is one of the Gstaad's most famous spa resorts. We decided to walk up the hill to see if it was open. It wasn't. But the views were still worth the trip.
Pam was getting a little cold, so we walked back down to the village for some hot chocolate and enjoyed what appeared to be a junior hockey tournament being held on one of the outdoor rinks. Hockey is apparently pretty popular in these parts. Anyway, after the hot chocolate it was time to get back on the train to Bern. So long Gstaad...for now! See pictures from Gstaad Day 2.
