Horneggli - Hornberg - Rinderberg

The 2,079m Rinderberg mountain rears up between Gstaad and Zweisimmen. In winter it’s beloved by skiers but in summer it turns into a hikers’ playground. A chairlift brings us from Schönried to the starting point Horneggli. The chairlift runs up from the little village of Schönried – it leaves five minutes from the railway station, so is ideal for travellers arriving by rail.

Once on the mountain, pick up the well-marked path towards Hornberg - Rinderberg; A rolling alpine path leads from Hornberg to Parwengen. From there the decent climbing to our summit Rinderberg starts. Its an easy uphill on a good mountain path with an incredible view of the Alps mainridge. From the Rinderberg 2,079m summit.
