The new music pavilion will serve as a welcome stage for outdoor concerts

in Saanen. The structure, located between Hotel Landhaus and 16 Boucherie, opened in early June and has already seen a flurry of activity. Despite the ambience and entertainment value for the village, the Sanona planning commission says the location will not become bothersome or noisy.

“We don’t want to initiate a party scene in the village of Saanen,” remarked Manfred Weilgüni, operator of Hotel Landhaus and member of the Sanona planning commission.

Various musicians are scheduled to appear in the band shell, from yodelling groups to rock bands.
