From pharmacies to sportswear companies to banks, it's a chance to discover and meet personally with many local businesses and their staff.

This year's fair will feature several special events, inlcuding a fashion show by Vertex Sports and Schuhhaus Romang. The fun continues with a comedy/variety show 'Nuny' as well as a late-night animation with 'Pancho & Josefa'.  All weekend long kids will delight in the Kasperlitheater's youth production at a specially designated kid zone, and an Early Beck brunch will be held Sunday to the swinging sounds of the Alphorngruppe Saanenland starring xylophone virtuoso Sandro Frautschi. 

For the daring, Air Glaciers will offer short helicopter rides at a special price for guests both Saturday and Sunday. The less daring can check out a safer form of transportation at the Gstaadermesse's display of the Hornberg funicular, which ran until 1986. After decades of sitting at a local playground, the funicular was renovated with the help of Gstaad Saanenland Tourism, and is making one last appearance in town before heading to its final resting spot at Lucerne's famed transport museum.
