Drivers travelling through Saanen and Gstaad in the coming weeks should allow a little extra time — and possibly keep a snack in the car — as extensive resurfacing works are currently underway on the cantonal road between Pillon and Gstaad, as well as on several municipal roads.

Traffic disruptions and temporary delays are expected throughout the area.

Main construction site: Cantonal Road between Saanen and Gstaad

Works are taking place between the Dubi roundabout and the village roundabout in Saanen, including both the roadway and pedestrian pavement.

Phase 1:
Alpenruhstrasse to the village roundabout
Continues until 29 May 2026

Phase 2:
Dubi roundabout to Alpenruhstrasse
18 May – 26 June 2026

Traffic is reduced to a single lane and regulated either manually or by traffic lights. Occasional night works may also take place.
