Gstaad Card in the new ChatBot «Sarina»
On the website www.gstaad.ch you will find since mid-July 2022 our Sarina, a digital ChatBot - respectively our digital advisor of the Destination Gstaad.
With the help of a chat field, this automated ChatBot provides the best possible answers and useful information to all tourism-related questions. From hiking highlights to sightseeing to travel tips, just to name a few. For now, our Sarina answers in German, English and French are in implementation.
Currently, many questions are asked about the Gstaad Card. Mainly on the subjects of the Gstaad Card’s offer, the acquisition of the Gstaad Card and the benefits. Try it out yourself in the chatbot, for example by asking after the Gstaad Card.
All new technical possibilities have their limits; our Sarina will never provide the exact answer to all questions. Therefore, there is still the possibility to connect to the LiveChat, leave a message or call. The question will then be answered directly by our guest relations team.
In the background of the system, the questions that Sarina cannot answer are continuously edited so that she is able to answer directly and correctly next time.

What to do:
On your existing card, the public transport offer is only valid until 31 October 2023. In order for the public transport service to be valid from 1 November 2023, you must obtain a new annual card (this will be valid until 31 January 2025).

The cards are issued directly through registration and sent by e-mail to the provided address. Kindly note that second home owners who are resident in the same municipality as the second home is located are not eligible to order a personal Gstaad Card.
Important:
- The Gstaad Card can only be ordered with the login that was sent to the recipient of the flat-rate visitor's tax invoice for the apartment.
- The data must be filled in correctly. The Gstaad Cards are personal, non-transferable and only valid with the holder's name and date of birth.
