Produktbeschreibung

More than just a stop on the jet-set circuit, Gstaad's great charm is its gemütlich--cozy and cheerful--style and atmosphere. The village owes much of its beauty to its natural surroundings as well as to the local architecture of enchanting wooden chalets. From storied hotels--Palace, Park, Bellevue, Alpina, Victoria--and the exclusive Eagle Ski Club and from the historic winter campus of the Institut Le Rosey to famed ski slopes and noted personalities--Elizabeth Taylor, Roger Moore, Valentino, Madonna--In the Spirit of Gstaad documents the history and allure of one of the world's most exclusive ski resorts.
