About this event
Christmas Eve (24 December) is the primary celebration for Swiss families. Restaurant Chesery, LEONARD's and La Bagatelle run special Christmas Eve tasting menus that typically sell out by mid-November. Posthotel Rössli — family-run in Gstaad since 1845 — serves a more traditional Christmas Eve with fondue, raclette and wood-panelled Stübli atmosphere. Christmas Day (25 December) is a gentler day: Le Grand & La Terrasse at Gstaad Palace opens for a long five-course Christmas lunch from 12:00, and Le Cerf in Rougemont serves what locals call the best Christmas-Day moitié-moitié fondue in the Alps.
