'Gstaad Glam'

A playground for the rich and famous nestled in the mountains of the Swiss Alps, Gstaad has long drawn visitors from across the globe to indulge in an environment that is best described as the very definition of Alpine chic. Despite the glitz and glamour associated with the locale, it still maintains a strong connection to its roots, local charms and regional traditions, resulting in a town that combines contemporary elegance with elements of Swiss pastoral lifestyle. From the area's 124 miles of slopes to can’t-miss events that include the Swiss Open and the Menuhin Festival of music, it's all explored in Assouline's 'Gstaad Glam', a 300-page volume authored by Geoffrey Moore and accompanied by over 200 illustrations.
