Where we cook in the Saanenland

Gstaad is the centre of a valley rather than a resort on its own, and the chalets are spread across it: Gstaad itself, Saanen, Schonried and Saanenmoser up the hill, Rougemont over the language border into French-speaking Vaud, and the quieter side valleys at Lauenen, Gsteig and Turbach.

The chalets here are large, often with staff already in place, and the kitchens are built for cooking rather than for display. That makes it one of the more comfortable places we work. It also means your chef will usually be working alongside a house manager or housekeeper, and the sooner those introductions happen the smoother the week runs.

What the valley gives us

This is dairy country of the highest order. L Etivaz, made in copper cauldrons over wood fire in the valley next door, and Berner Alpkase from the summer pastures above the village, are cheeses worth arranging a course around rather than putting on a board at the end.

Beyond that: air-dried mountain beef, the freshwater fish of the Bernese lakes, alpine herbs, and honey from the same slopes. Gstaad also has a serious restaurant culture, which means the suppliers who serve it will serve a chalet as well.

Two seasons, not one

The winter runs from December to March, and the weeks between Christmas and mid-January are when the valley is fullest and the hardest to arrange. That much is expected.

What surprises people is the summer. July and August in the Saanenland are quietly busy with families who come back every year, the walking is superb and the terraces are warm, and a chef is far easier to arrange than in February. It is the best value week of the year here and almost nobody outside the valley knows it.

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend booking at least 72 hours in advance to ensure availability, especially during the ski season and holiday periods. However, we always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests.

Tell us your dates, where you are staying, how many guests and which service you have in mind. We check availability and come back with a proposal built around what you told us. Once the menu and the service are agreed, a 50% deposit confirms the booking. In peak season, get in touch as early as you can, and earlier still for a Full Time or Half Time chef across several days.

There is no single figure worth quoting: it depends on the destination, the number of guests, which service you book and the menu. Ingredients are billed separately at what they cost, with receipts. Travel beyond the areas we list for a destination, additional staff and unusually long hours are quoted on top. You will have the whole price in writing before anything is confirmed.
