  • Gstaad, Switzerland
    GSTAAD, SWITZERLAND Consider living in a vast alpine garden in summer or a glistening fairytale of white wonder in the winter. Gstaad is all that – once described by Sound of Music star Julie Andrews as “the last paradise in a crazy world.” Such sounds still ring true as old wealth given to such romantic notions as horse-drawn carriages clopping down cobbled streets as visitors pass in their furs and finery mix with a more grounded populace of happy-go-lucky youth in ski gear and affordable fashions. They say Gstaad has about 3,000 residents and just as many cows. There are endless alpine walking paths along wildflower vistas that bring Heidi to mind. In winter ski mountains buzz with some 60 ski lifts and cable cars ferry visitors into magnificent heights. Gstaad, in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps, is well known to celebrities and royalty as a protected playground. For decades it was the place to go for well-disguised paparazzi as it was known as a gathering spot for such icons as Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Roman Polanski, Formula1 star Bernie Ecclestone, fashion designer Valentino, Madonna, Anne Hathaway, Salma Hayek and a cavalcade of Bollywood faves. But the locals maintain, "People go to St. Moritz to be seen, and to Gstaad to enjoy themselves." Location of Gstaad On a map, you will find Gstaad in the southwest region of Switzerland, a two- to three- hour drive from Geneva or Zurich on the boundary between the Bernese Oberland and the Vaud Alpes. Gstaad is a walking village, car-free in its charm and crowded with precious weathered-wood chalets.

By MARTA FALCONI Andermatt Swiss Alps, one of the most ambitious construction projects in the world, is Egyptian billionaire Samih Sawaris's bold bet that he can turn a sleepy town into a global luxury hotspot. Marta Falconi has a look on Lunch Break. Photo: Elisabeth Real for The Wall Street Journal. Egypt-born billionaireSamih Sawiris climbed into a helicopter eight years ago for a tour of Andermatt, a former army town in mountainous central Switzerland that was struggling to keep its residents from leaving. Asked by Swiss officials to evaluate the valley's potential use, Mr. Sawiris began picturing a new landscape as he flew over its waterfalls, gorges and meadows. The developer, best known for a resort city he built in the desert along the Red Sea, envisioned a sweep of luxury hotels, mountain chalets and condominiums, and an 18-hole golf course nestled against Andermatt's Alpine peaks.
