Fondue Land Gstaad
Gstaad Fondueland is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious fondue outdoors amidst splendid Alpine scenery.
Seven outsize caquelons, each with space for up to eight people, serve as sociable settings for enjoyment with an unparalleled panoramic view. You can set off on foot or with snowshoes, or choose your very own place to enjoy the great outdoors. This is made possible thanks to the nostalgically designed fondue rucksack. It contains all the ingredients for a delicious outdoor dining experience.
