Gstaad Overview

Gstaad's Eggli Ski Resort is a prime destination for winter sports enthusiasts, widely acclaimed for its quality ski area, warm and friendly atmosphere, and convenient access. The resort's breathtaking views are renowned, providing a stunning backdrop to the well-maintained slopes. These slopes are praised for their beauty and length, although some patrons note that they can be a bit narrow in certain areas. Despite this, the experience on the slopes is generally positive, particularly when the resort is not overcrowded.

Guests also speak highly of the resort's on-site dining options, specifically mentioning the tasty Ski Rösti served at the mountain-top restaurant. The food, while being noted as quite expensive, is described as delicious and well worth trying. However, some guests did express discontent with the service speed, particularly for drinks.

The resort's new gondola is a highlight, described as 'incredible' and offering an elevated view of the resort's beauty. Unfortunately, some visitors have expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of a snow cannon on the slope leading back to the gondola, noting that this slope is often closed.

While the majority of the reviews for the Eggli Ski Resort are positive, there are a few areas where the resort might improve. Some guests remark on lengthy wait times due to limited cash registers, and also observed a lack of adherence to mask guidelines at the valley station. Additionally, there are mentions of staff being somewhat unfriendly at times, particularly those at the counter.

In conclusion, Gstaad's Eggli Ski Resort is a high-quality ski destination with stunning views and excellent slopes. Despite a few areas for improvement, such as customer service and adherence to safety protocols, it remains a highly recommended location for an authentic ski experience.
