AlpnessTrail
The relaxing alpine hiking route
With its gentle subalpine topography and the awe-inspiring mountain landscape between Mt. Wildstrubel and Mt. Wildhorn, the intact mountain farms and a high density of authentic cultural values, the region in the western Bernese Oberland between Boltigen, Zweisimmen, Lenk and Gstaad provides the perfect surroundings for active relaxation and lasting sensory experiences in the Alps.
Thanks to the AlpnessTrail, people who enjoy long hikes have access to a circular trail with 13 stages passing through the Saanenland and Obersimmental Alps. Hikers are led to the most impressive locations where they have fantastic experiences and receive background information on the topic in question. Naturalness, encounters with both people and animals, rushing or still water spectacles, history and stories, alpine flora, traditions and simple cuisine on the mountain make for a more intense outdoor experience and help you to enjoy things at a slower pace.
Whether you are at an altitude of more than 2'300 metres above sea level or on the valley floor, you will stay the night on the mountain pasture, either in simple huts or mountain inns. These hosts offer half board and a packed lunch for the following day.
The alpine hiking route can be put together to suit your preferences and any number of stages can be completed. Day excursions along the route are also possible.
