Step back in time for a winter holiday with a twist and a touch of real glamour! Each January the charming village of Kandersteg turns back the clock some hundred years or so to enjoy a week of traditional activities – including sledging, bob-sleigh races and an afternoon tea dance – which culminates in a wonderful Century Ball at which everyone has the chance to dress in typical Belle Epoque style.

With its chandeliered restaurant and wonderful atmosphere, the 19th-century Hotel Victoria is the ideal setting for the week’s entertainment, making it easy to get into the spirit of this bygone era. As on any holiday here, your attentive hosts, Casi and Mimi Platzer and their team, do their utmost to ensure your stay is memorable. There are plenty of winter activities to enjoy in addition to the organised events – Kandersteg is perfect for skiers and non-skiers alike – but equally this is a place to simply sit back and enjoy the magic of winter.
