AlpnessTrail

With its gentle pre-alpine topography and the impressive mountain scenery between Wildstrubel and Wildhorn, intact mountain farming and a high density of authentic cultural values, the region in the western Bernese Oberland between Boltigen, Zweisimmen, Lenk and Gstaad offers the perfect environment for active recreation and lasting sensory experiences in the mountains.

The AlpnessTrail offers long-distance hikers a circular route of 13 stages across the Alps of the Saanenland and the Upper Simmental. Hikers are guided to the most impressive places where they can gain background knowledge on a particular theme. Pristine nature, encounters with people and animals, rushing or quiet water spectacles, history and legends, alpine flora, traditions and simple cuisine on the mountain intensify the experience of nature and lead to a decelerating experience. Whether at over 2,300 m above sea level or on the valley floor, you can spend the night on the alp, in simple huts or mountain inns. These offer half board and a packed lunch for the next day. The mountain hiking route can be put together and staggered as desired. Day trips along the route are also possible.
