Sirena Gramado Tourist Megacomplex of R$ 1 Billion on 250 Hectares Between Gramado and Parque do Caracol Plans Largest Outdoor Ski Slope in Latin America and First Delivery in 2027
The city of Gramado, also known as the Brazilian Switzerland by many, will receive the Sirena Gramado tourist megacomplex, valued at R$ 1 billion, on an area of 250 hectares, featuring an international resort, an unprecedented ski slope, and an initial delivery forecast for 2027.
The project will be implemented between Gramado and the Parque do Caracol, with support from current environmental and urban legislation, bringing together hospitality, entertainment, and real estate assets in a single integrated tourist complex.
According to information from the DC Set Group, responsible for the project, the total area is similar to the sum of the Ibirapuera and Villa-Lobos parks in São Paulo, according to data released by the company itself.

The size of Sirena Gramado is equivalent to more than half of Central Park in New York, reinforcing the city’s positioning as a large-scale tourist hub, according to the DC Set Group.
The project will be executed in phases, with the first phase scheduled for 2027, including initial structures for accommodation, leisure, and services aimed at national and international audiences.
The expectation is to generate 600 direct jobs during the construction of the first phase, as well as enhance municipal revenue and boost tourism flow, according to projections from the DC Set Group.
Structure of the Megacomplex and Operation Model
Sirena Gramado was conceived based on three main pillars – hospitality, entertainment, and real estate, forming an integrated model of planned tourist and residential occupancy.
The operation of the resort will be the responsibility of Club Med, an international chain specialized in all-inclusive resorts, as officially informed by the DC Set Group.
Environmental Integration and Land Use
The project will be implemented respecting the existing terrain, vegetation, and watercourses, with planned occupancy to reduce impacts and maintain the natural characteristics of the area.
Residential units, cultural facilities, dining spaces, and leisure attractions are planned to be distributed throughout the land, ensuring functional and landscape integration.
Announced Attractions for the Complex
Among the planned facilities is the largest outdoor ski slope in Latin America, featuring snow-free technology, as well as a treetop park and ecological trails.
The complex will include a botanical garden, orchid greenhouse, convention center, event and wedding spaces, in addition to a diverse culinary ensemble with themed restaurants.
Also planned are an artisanal chocolate shop, ice cream factory, local wine cellar, wellness area with a spa, indoor pool, and integrative rooms.
The project also reserves space for a multi-specialty hospital, expanding the offering of permanent services and strengthening the continuous operation of the complex throughout the year.
Why Brazilian Switzerland?
Gramado is nationally known as the “Brazilian Switzerland” for singularly bringing together urban, cultural, climatic, and landscape characteristics resembling European alpine cities, especially those in Switzerland and southern Germany.
Located in Serra Gaúcha, about 115 kilometers from Porto Alegre, the city is approximately 830 meters above sea level, a factor that contributes to cooler temperatures throughout the year and frequent fog during winter.
The European identity of Gramado began to consolidate with the German and Italian colonization, evident today in the half-timbered architecture, sloped roofs, carefully planned landscaping, and the appreciation of flowers, squares, and urban lakes.
Unlike many Brazilian tourist destinations, the municipality has adopted strict land use regulations, preserving green areas and maintaining a uniform aesthetic standard.
Events such as Natal Luz, Easter in Gramado, and the Film Festival have reinforced the city’s image as an organized, clean destination focused on visitor experience, attracting millions of tourists annually.
The gastronomy based on artisanal chocolates, fondues, wines, and colonial coffees completes the European imagery associated with the municipality.
This combination of climate, urbanism, cultural heritage, and planning has transformed Gramado into a symbol of tourist sophistication in the country, consolidating the nickname of Brazilian Switzerland over the decades.

Não adianta parques e parques se a classe A não gasta no Brasil. E as outras classes que gostariam de usufruir e conhecer não tem renda, a roda parou de girar, a Riqueza tá concentrada e os bilionários tão sentado em cima da grana, é o colapso do sistema, quem movimenta a economia é o pobre.
Quanta propaganda, mal dá pra ler a matéria. Suíça brasileira? Meu Deus, esse povo se acha mesmo rs. Tá beeeem longe…
Suíça brasileira não era Campos do Jordão??
