Musical chairs for Saanen hotel directors

From August there will be a new face at the Steigenberger Hotel Gstaad-Saanen. 44 year-old Martin Sonderegger (left) will be taking over as the general manager from Günter Weilguni (above), who himself left last month to take over the Alpinelodge (from his brother Manfred, who has taken over the Landhaus). You following this?  A trained chef, Sonderegger studied at the Swiss Hotelfachschule Luzern, and his previous gigs were as director of the Seiler-Hotel Nicoletta and the Schweizerhof in Zermatt.

Top, Günter Weilguni loses the suit and tie to take up his new challenge as owner-operator of the Alpine Lodge in Saanen.
