Clear your calendars and sharpen your elbows — the legendary Gstaad Palace Garage Sale was Friday, 23 May 2025, from 12:00 to 16:00.

Forget dusty boxes and broken toasters – this is where gently used Palace interiors (yes, those lamps and chairs) find a second home. You might just score a piece of Gstaad history from mirrors to beds at a fraction of the price.

It’s cash only, pick-up on the spot – no reservations, no sneak previews. Just good old-fashioned hustle and hunt.

Rumour has it BBC Bargain Hunt’s Tim Wonnacott has tried to coordinate his travel calendar around this sale, and our very own Anna Charles, GstaadLife Expat Adventures contributor and self-proclaimed “Gstaad Picker,” calls it her Super Bowl.

Location: Gstaad Palace, Palacestrasse 28, 3780 Gstaad
