When the international tennis elite gathers in Gstaad, an extensive temporary event infrastructure provides the setting for the Swiss Open Gstaad. NUSSLI constructs various event structures and grandstands for the tennis tournament in the Bernese Oberland. These include spectator stands, VIP and box seating areas, media platforms, access structures, and other structural elements.

One unique feature is the connection to the beach volleyball tournament in Gstaad: Both sporting events make use of significant portions of the same infrastructure. Instead of building two completely separate facilities, key structures are shared.

One infrastructure, two sports, different needs

Beach volleyball and tennis attract different fan bases and, accordingly, place different demands on the event venue. What is sufficient for one sporting event may require additional equipment for another. This is precisely where the flexibility of NUSSLI’s modular event structures comes into play. For the beach volleyball tournament, for example, benches in the stands are sufficient. At the Swiss Open Gstaad, however, greater seating comfort is a priority: The existing grandstand structure is equipped with seat shells and supplemented by a grandstand roof. Other areas are also configured and expanded accordingly for the tennis tournament.

The basic structure remains the same; the equipment changes. Thanks to the modular design, the existing equipment can be quickly adapted to the needs of the next event. This allows key parts of the infrastructure to be reused, while specific elements are added or replaced. This eliminates the need for a complete rebuild and makes the temporary structures highly versatile.

Shared event structures and specific additions

The shared and jointly funded structures for beach volleyball and tennis include the U-shaped grandstand, the VIP grandstand, the VIP platform, the TV platform, the grandstand cladding, and the wheelchair platform. These structures form the backbone of the event arena and are used for both sporting events.

For the Swiss Open Gstaad, NUSSLI is expanding the infrastructure with additional event-specific structures and equipment. These include:

  • Seat shells: An upgrade to the seating compared to the standard bench setup in beach volleyball.

  • Grandstand roof: An additional structure for the tennis event.

  • Entrance Gate: A dedicated entrance to the tennis arena.

  • Footbridge over the municipal road: An additional structure connecting the event areas.

  • Boxes in Section B: Additional seating areas for guests.

The combination of shared basic structures and specific additions creates an event venue tailored to the Swiss Open Gstaad.

From the grandstand to the entrance gate—one-stop event construction

A sports arena consists of much more than just spectator stands. It is the interplay of various temporary structures that creates the infrastructure for a sporting event. At the Swiss Open Gstaad, NUSSLI combines various structures into a comprehensive solution: from grandstands and VIP areas to media platforms and boxes, as well as the entrance portal, walkway, and grandstand roof. The various event structures are coordinated with one another and together form the infrastructure for the tennis tournament.

This variety of structures demonstrates the breadth of NUSSLI's expertise in temporary event construction. Whether Grandstand Construction , Stages - and stage structures, canopies, or access areas—a variety of structural requirements come together within an event infrastructure.
