Le Grand Bellevue Launches A New Programme For Adrenaline Junkies
This summer, Le Grand Bellevue in Gstaad will introduce an exclusive new Adrenaline Fuelled Alps experience for thrill-seekers looking for a whirlwind weekend away. Set to launch in June 2019, the three night programme will be action-packed with mountain pursuits that see guests push themselves to their limits with no expense spared.
In true James Bond style, the experience begins as guests are whisked from Gstaad train station to the hotel in one of Roger Moore’s old Bentley’s, which now sits in the fleet of Le Grand Bellevue’s classic cars.

Subsequent days will see guests bravely hike the frozen Glacier 3000 trail with the support of specialist guides and ride theAlpine Coaster at the top, the world’s highest toboggan run which offers a thrilling decent. Guests can end the trip at speed by learning the skill of downhill Grass Skiing, or flying above the mountain passes by helicopter before landing on a sunlit peak for a private yoga class. Exhilarating trail running routes can also be provided upon request from the hotel’s concierge.
Adventurous days will be complemented by spoiling nights at Le Grand Bellevue where Michelin-starred Executive Chef Marcus G. Lindner will prepare hearty dinners atLEONARD’s to satisfy the hungriest of appetites using locally sourced Alpine ingredients.
