For the 24th time, Gstaad’s ice rink once more transforms into a beach volleyball haven for the Swatch Beach Pro Gstaad. The tournament starts in two weeks, featuring the world’s top beach volleyball players.

This year, the grandstand in the village has over 300 additional seats. Matches begin at 9 a.m. from Wednesday to Friday and at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Games will be held on the centre court and two side courts at the Gstaad Sports Centre.

Despite Olympic spots being decided, the tournament remains a crucial indicator of player form ahead of the Games. With threeday passes sold out, remaining day tickets are in high demand.

Loyal fans are expected to create a vibrant, almost festival-like atmosphere, complemented by numerous side events throughout the weekend, making it worth a visit. Swatch Beach Pro Gstaad takes place from 3 – 7 July.
