A licensed Swiss chauffeur, a fare fixed in writing before you travel, and a car that waits when the flight does not arrive on time.
Gstaad is in the Saanenland, on the German-French language border, and it is reached over low passes rather than high ones — which makes it one of the more dependable alpine destinations in winter despite the distance.
The season is the point here. Gstaad in February and Gstaad in July are different towns with different traffic, and the transfer that serves the first needs winter equipment and an earlier departure than the drive time implies.

The A1 to Bern, then the A6 to Thun and the valley road up the Simmental through Zweisimmen and over the Saanenmöser. The alternative approach from Lake Geneva over the Col des Mosses exists and is used when the Bern corridor is blocked.
The Saanenmöser is low and kept open; this is not a pass-closure destination. The winter cost is speed rather than access — the Simmental valley road is slower under snow than the figure suggests. SUV class from December, ski box from November.
Often, on distance. It depends entirely on the inbound; the desk will quote a Zurich collection against what a Geneva one would look like.
The Saanenmöser is a low pass on a main road and closures are rare. Snow costs time on the valley approach rather than access.
Yes — Van class with a ski box. Tell the desk the passenger and luggage count and the box goes on before the car leaves Kloten.
