Welcome to
The Gstaad New Year Festival
The Gstaad New Year Music Festival is placed under the patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II de Monaco. Over the last twelve years it has hosted over 300 concerts and events featuring more than 1000 artists ranging from the age of 3 to 80. Artists come from Switzerland, Europe and beyond to perform and spend quality time with their audience in Gstaad and its surroundings during the holiday season.
Our Festival needs to be different in order to arouse the
interest of the audience. Thanks to our faithful donors we
are able to share a variety of genres and introduce young
upcoming artists. All our performers understand the special
quality of the Festival and they are happy to share in its warm
and family-like atmosphere.
