The Trail Keeper Saanenland-Simmental, Gstaad Saanenland Tourismus and the municipality of Saanen organised the first Trail Keeper Day in the region. Volunteers helped with the trail maintenance for a day under the guidance of the municipality of Saanen and thus gave something back to the region. At the Rellerli, the existing hiking trail from the former mountain station via Gspan in the direction of Schönried was spruced up for the summer by twelve volunteers.

The recent easing of the corona restrictions also benefits sports and culture. While sports clubs are exhausting all possibilities, music and cultural groups remain cautious.
The Gstaad Palace mourns the death of Ernst Andrea Scherz (1939-2021). The doyen of the international luxury hotel industry, who among other things helped to establish the worldwide alliance "The Leading Hotels of the World", passed away after a long illness on 13 May 2021 at the age of 81. He managed the legendary Gstaad hotel from 1968 to 2001 – before handing it over to his son Andrea Scherz, who today is the third generation to carry on his father's legacy as general manager and owner.
