Petition addressed to: Gstaad-Saanenland-Tourismus, Gemeinde Saanen

We call on GST (Gstaad Saanenland Tourism) and the municipality of Saanen to continue operating the cross-country ski trail between Gstaad and Gsteig – or at least the Gstaad–Feutersoey section – whenever snow conditions permit, and to maintain it for both classic and skating techniques.

Reason

Why this trail is important:

  • It is ideal for all ages and ability levels – from families, beginners, and seniors to ambitious cross-country skiers.
  • It is regularly used by locals, residents, and visitors. The local youth cross-country ski club also uses the trail for training sessions.
  • The trail is accessible on foot from downtown Gstaad, and the entire route is easily reachable by public transport.
  • It contributes to Gstaad's appeal as the region's central winter sports resort.

Losing this trail would be a loss for the region and its residents and visitors.
Please sign this petition to help secure the Gstaad–Gsteig trail for everyone!

Thank you so much for your support, Langlauf JO Saanenland, Gstaad

Why people sign

Gstaad is before anything else a winter resort! How can it even be a consideration to remove the only cross country trail of the village? It is important for health and pleasure, directly or indirectly, to all members of the community (younger and older), residents, visitors, businesses of Gstaad and the surrounding region.

For all the reasons mentioned in this petition the cross country trail from Gstaad in the direction of Gsteig should absolutely be maintained

It is beautiful and traditional
I walk there practically every day

It is beautiful
It should stay there
It is a tradition that we don’t want to change
