Gstaad, Switzerland
Resort life
Gstaad is not for those with a weak stomach as on the poncy, snobbish, fur clad scale, this joint rates high and therefore is very expensive.Nightlife
Night life here can also be good with an okay selection of bars that allow for some hard core drinking sessions.Accomodation
Good affordable lodging can be had in places like the Snoeb Hotel, a specialist riders hangout.Hotel search
