About this event
The 70th Menuhin Festival Gstaad runs 16 July to 5 September 2026 with over 75 concerts in the churches of Saanen, Zweisimmen, Lauenen, Gsteig and Rougemont, plus the large Festival Tent in Gstaad itself. Concerts typically start at 19:30; the most-requested dinner windows are 17:00 – 19:00 for pre-concert and 22:00 – late for post-concert. Chesery, LEONARD's, La Bagatelle and Posthotel Rössli all keep kitchens open late on Festival Tent nights. Restaurant Sonnenhof in Saanen is the closest fine-dining option to the Saanen church concerts. For Rougemont concert nights, Le Cerf is 5 minutes on foot.
