Marcus G. Lindner, The Alpina Gstaad’s celebrated chef, will leave the hotel after the winter season for a new, as yet unnamed, challenge.
In the frosty snow and in the pounding rain, with howling winds and with clear, sunny skies, Mary is there. She arrives when Gstaad’s ice skating rink first opens in winter, and does not miss a single day. In fact, she hasn’t missed a single day for 35 years!
Last week marked a serious turning point in the construction dreams of Institut Le Rosey. The high-profile boarding school retracted their new campus project “Erli” in Schönried, after it was deemed too disruptive to the surrounding countryside by cantonal officials.
Small, retractable barriers have been a feature of the small street in front of Gstaad's train station for many years, preventing through traffic for anything but delivery trucks and taxis.
The local cross-country skier Nathalie von Siebenthal is getting a headstart on the season. She was able to take advantage of the excellent conditions on Glacier 3000 at the end of October to commence her physical training.
A Swiss team led by none other than Gstaad chef Tobia Ciarulli has won the bronze medal at the Culinary Olympics. The talented national youth team scored big as well--securing second place after Sweden.
