I worked for this man in 1997 at the Palace and it was one of the best experience of my life. I will always be thankful to have crossed path with such a gentleman. May he rest in peace Roberto Manfè

Great that Le Rosey expands, but what a pity that visitors arriving by train will be “welcomed” by such industrial appearing building, not in the chalet style like the rest of the iconic village.

I attended Chalet Flora from l947 to 1950 and came there from New York where my family had managed to spend the war years. I liked the schooling very much and, of course, the skiing. Also the freezing swimming pool. I remember well Tante Flora, Mademoiselles Tschopp (always wondered about her relationship with Tante F), Schwab, and Quindet . Also a French teacher, Mademoiselle Barthelet, from whom I received the first and only anti-semitism of my life:: "espece de juive errante". I walked out of the classroom without permission, and then, not daring to knock on Tante Flora's door, I eventually walked back in. She never dared say a word. Many years later, I visited Tante Flora (I was living in Geneva and attending University there), asked about her, and learned that she had been a" collaborative horizontal." But that single experience gave me a lifelong distaste for France and the French. I now live in Southbury, Connecticut, and if anyone is near, I would be delighted to hear from you. Lydia Soifer

Oh, yes, how many memories from Chalet Flora. I was there in 1954 and 1956. Just 7 years old and so terribly homesick. I am 77 now, was born in Brazil. We were two Brazilian. Vera Maier and myself.. Silvia Aron Now, I love Gstaad. It’s still quaint in those crazy busy times…and I went back many times with my Italian husband. But all I have read today brings exactly the same memories . Thanks, it was part of my childhood!!!!

My parents were going through a difficult time and my brother and I were sent to Marie Jose summer program Coming from an American day school in NY it was a culture shock. The disiplane, particularly in the morning after breakfast was weird. Still, I look back on it fondly. My French improved and I learned to love the combination of bread with chocolate

My father and uncle attended this school- Ernest and George who were from a German Jewish family. I believe it was in 1933-1934 to escape the rise of Hitler. I have a brochure printed from that time which states “send your children where they will get the mountain sun. It will give them a strength of reserve and health.”

Un humaniste au talent artistique indéniable. Le prix de ses toiles ont pris l'ascenseur récemment. Je dirai plutôt que tardivement son art est rétabli à sa juste valeur. Il a marqué sa région de son empreinte et son travail irradie aujourd'hui internationalement. Grand homme précurseur de son temps.
