mission statement
‘We are motivated, active and determined!’
1. Vision
The Gstaad Sports Centre is the central location for sports, health, leisure and events in the Saanenland region. We are a meeting place for everyone, inspiring and bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds while promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. With a wide range of sports and event options and a welcoming atmosphere, we create space for encounters and community.
2. Mission
Our mission is to create a lively and inviting platform by offering a wide range of sports, leisure and event opportunities. In addition to the indoor swimming pool, wellness area, curling hall, mini golf, artificial ice rink, indoor tennis court, beach volleyball courts and group fitness and fitness facilities, we offer a comprehensive range of leisure activities for the region with the Saanen outdoor swimming pool and the Gstaad ice rink. Thanks to our versatile event spaces – in the tennis hall, the festival tent and at the Gstaad ice rink – we are a central venue for numerous events, including local festivals, sporting and cultural events. The event spaces are used by local clubs for trade fairs, general meetings, yodelling concerts, cattle shows and other traditional events. We also provide the ideal setting for large-scale events, making our sports centre a cultural and sporting attraction. With the Sport Lodge, we also operate two double chalets that can accommodate up to 180 people. These offer suitable and centrally located accommodation for large events (as accommodation for helpers), sports clubs and individual guests. Thanks to the service agreement with the municipality of Saanen, which includes financial support, and the financial assistance of the surrounding municipalities, we are able to operate the indoor swimming pool, the Saanen outdoor swimming pool and the Gstaad ice rink as key service providers for the region on a cost-covering basis.
