WHAT DISTINGUISHES THIS PROGRAM
The experiences at Gstaad Academy are unique in being colored by the magical environment of Switzerland's Saanenland countryside, one of the most beautiful Alpine foothill regions to be found anywhere in the world-a great inspiration, already highly valued by the festival's founder, Lord Yehudi Menuhin.
