My aim with these anecdotes is to bring to life the period circa 1930 - 1955, and to give the younger generation some idea of what the Gstaad of that time looked like and what went on there. It was a Gstaad that was a bit cosier and less well known than today, but which already displayed the qualities and charm of a renowned international resort.
