HEAVEN FOR HIKERS
The trails in Gstaad take you through a variety of spectacular scenery; moorlands, deep gorges, Alpine valleys, high mountain peaks and, of course, the beautifully located Alpine restaurants. With more than 300 km of signposted and well maintained trails and paths, hikers will think they’ve arrived in heaven. The dense and expansive network of routes, which is ideally accessible thanks to the many lifts, cable cars and different modes of public transport, is sure to offer something for everyone.
EASY: RINDERBERG – HORNEGGLI
The easy high-mountain hike is breath-taking, especially because of its wonderful alpine panorama. Families love the playground on Rinderbergspitz – here the young kids can play around, while the adults enjoy a well-deserved refreshment after the hike from Horneggli. On the hike between Rinderberg and Horneggli you will discover great surprises along the way: for example, a wakeboard facility on Hornberg and great mountain huts with fine things to eat. The alpine panorama – whether you start your hike from Rinderberg or from Horneggli – is unbeatable.
MODERATE: SPARENMOOS – HUNDSRÜGG
The Hundsrügg offers fantastic panoramic views of 427 peaks, including the infamous Eiger, Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. A true experience for all. Time your walk to capture an epic sunrise or sunset on the Hundsrügg and enjoy the view of the Alps and the imposing Gastlosen chain on the descent towards Erbetlaub- Seeli. And make sure to take the slight detour on the way back – believe us it’s worth it! – to visit the mountain restaurant Nüjeberg, which offers delicious and fine delicacies from the alp.

DON’T MISS!
No trip to Gstaad
would be complete without these experiences:
• Do an authentic and personal farm visit
• Enjoying a mountain top panoramic view
• Visiting a charming chalet village: Saanen / Lauenen are especially picturesque
• Trying an outdoor
fondue at Fondueland Gstaad
• Swimming or cooling your feet in an icy mountain lake
ADVANCED: GLACIER 3,000 – SANETSCH
The varied route leads from the Scex Rouge mountain station over the glacier via Quille du Diable and Sanetschsee to Gsteig.
Despite starting by cable car ride to the top station Scex Rouge at 2,940m, this varied route is a little more advanced and requires decent fitness to complete. Enjoy a beautiful view over the fascinating alpine panorama including the glacier Tsanfleuron which you later cross. The trails are well marked and take you in a south-easterly direction to the Tour St. Martin (2,908 m), situated at the edge of the glacier. The descending path fortunately encounters no crevices in the glacier in this area and leads through several beautiful points of interest via a fantastic Auberge du Sanetsch restaurant at 2,062m. After a welcome repast, either take the trail and hike down to Gsteig or take the cable car that brings you from Sanetsch down to Gsteig at 1,184m, so remember to buy a round trip ticket in the morning if you're planning on taking the cable car back!
