Fine sand, top performances, well-toned bodies and a lot of bare skin. For one week every July, the wellness oasis Gstaad turns into a beach volleyball stronghold when the best teams in the world compete against each other on the court. The Beach Volleyball Major Series – Swatch Major Gstaad does not only attract stars of the scene to the Bernese Oberland, but also a lot of fans who come to witness the fast-moving serves, the blocks and the spectacular vertical jumps in the sand. And of course, they want to get a first-hand experience of the exuberant atmosphere.

The events off the volleyball court also create a holiday feeling with many visitors. Away from the sand court, spectators have a wide range of activities to choose from such as concerts, dance sessions, parties or the beach village with its many bars, beaches and a variety of culinary offers. Children enjoy the Hello Family Kids Corner where they can do arts & crafts, drawings and other games. If you need a break from the hustle and bustle, the car-free centre of Gstaad village is the perfect place for you. In contrast to the fast-moving game, the exclusive restaurants, luxurious boutiques and relaxing spa retreats seem serene.
