With 101 kilometres and 6,700 metres of elevation gain, the E101 route with its spectacular mountain scenery is a tough test for every participant. The E51 route also culminates at the Faulhorn at 2,680 metres and offers an unforgettable 360° panorama. The E35 leads directly to the north face of the Eiger. The E16 course is ideal for trail running beginners or speed distances. Courageous relatives and carers can take on the Trail Surprise.

Along the E250, teams of two and three discover impressive mountain ranges, rustic valleys and the largest contiguous glaciated area in the Alps. They circle the UNESCO World Heritage Site Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch.

Whether they choose to arrive by funicular or take the sporty option by hiking to the top on foot, festival fans from all over the world gather on the Gurten mountain year by year. The ascent to the festival is just as important to the experience as the location on top of Bern’s local mountain and the view of the Alps. Once arrived at the hilltop, numerous concerts are spread over three different stages, with not only nationally and internationally famous groups on the main- and tent stage, but also many exciting up-and-coming talents from the Swiss music scene thrill the audience on the famous “Waldbühne” stage.

Since the first edition of the “Bern-Gurten International Folk Festival” in 1971 many things have changed. Back then the festival was far from being the big event it is today. Its organisers were not able to find a suitable lighting system for the stage and were forced to install lamps at the last minute to prevent the festival taking place in the dark! Since then the Gurtenfestival has grown significantly, but the unmistakable charm, the warm and cosy folk festival atmosphere and the relaxed ambience that Bern is known for are still deeply enrooted, just as they were back in 1971.

Legendary car models deserve a grand entrance again this summer. For these, the pavement of the Dorfstrasse will once again be transformed into a nostalgic grandstand.

Remarks
The classic car meeting 2026 is fully booked. No more registrations can be accepted.

The Menuhin Festival Gstaad is one of the internationally established festivals for classical music and has been held every summer in the beautiful Saanenland region around Gstaad since it was founded in 1957. With over 60 concerts, the festival combines musical diversity with the special backdrop of the Bernese Alps and is an integral part of the region's cultural summer offerings.

The program includes orchestral concerts, chamber music, recitals and other concert formats. The events take place in the region's historic churches as well as in the iconic festival tent in Gstaad.

The program is shaped by internationally renowned artists as well as young musicians at the beginning of their careers. The festival has always attached great importance to the combination of musical excellence and the promotion of young talent. This combination gives the program a special dynamic and makes the festival attractive to both connoisseurs of classical music and curious explorers.

The academies are an integral part of the festival. In public master classes, rehearsals and concerts, artistic processes are made visible and young talents are specifically promoted. The program is complemented by freely accessible events and educational formats that facilitate access to classical music and open up the festival to a wide audience.

The festival attracts visitors from Switzerland and abroad and is also firmly anchored in the region. Attending concerts at the Menuhin Festival Gstaad can be ideally combined with a vacation in the Alps - be it hiking, culinary delights or exploring the surrounding villages. The festival coincides with the summer season and complements the destination's existing leisure and nature activities with a high-quality cultural program.

In terms of content, the festival is based on the musical and humanistic legacy of its founder, Yehudi Menuhin. His idea of music as a unifying force continues to shape the program to this day.

The Menuhin Festival Gstaad thus stands for a summer cultural experience that combines international classical music with the landscape and hospitality of the Saanenland and gives visitors an in-depth approach to music, the region and their stay.
