Win a Summer Weekend at Gstaad Palace in Switzerland

We’re giving away a two-night stay at Gstaad Palace, a grand dame in the Swiss Alps, plus return travel from the UK

The prize-winner and a guest will check into Gstaad Palace, a century-old castle-hotel which sits on a hill overlooking the glitzy Alpine town of Gstaad, during the peaceful summer season. Chalet-style rooms have been given an updated twist on classic mountain-lodge interiors – lots of woods and comfortable fabrics – and most have views of the handsome valley below.

Also included on one evening is supper for two at Le Grand Restaurant, the hotel’s elegant fine-dining spot with views of the peaks. The menu here changes daily: traditional Alpine dishes such as Alpstein chicken served with locally-grown vegetables sit alongside alternatives that might include penne alla vodka with lobster or Asian-inspired salads.

The Swiss Alps in summer are quieter than during the ski season. Visitors can hike along the 370 miles of paths that wind through the mountains and valleys, go sailing or windsurfing on the lakes, scale summits and explore the charming villages that dot the region.

Also part of the prize are two return economy flights from the UK as well as train travel from the airport to the hotel in Switzerland, provided by Switzerland Tourism, by Swiss International Air Lines only. The prize must be taken during Gstaad Palace's 2021 summer season: between 19 June 2021 and 12 September 2021.
