Gstaad Bergbeizli Trophy 2025

The Hiking Challenge from 28 June to 19 October 2025

Together with the Peakhunter app (the summit logbook in your pocket), we challenge you to visit eight of 18 mountain restaurants, and with a little luck, you could win attractive prizes at the end of the summer season! You can explore up to three mountain restaurants in one day on a hike. This trophy is not only about hiking, but also about regional products and how they are made.

Fondueland Gstaad

In Fondueland Gstaad, there's nothing better than savouring a delicious fondue in the heart of the mountains. Two specially equipped huts and five oversized caquelons provide a convivial setting for savouring the fondue with an incomparable panoramic view. All the necessary ingredients are packed in the fondue rucksack and can be ordered from the dairies in the region, from Berghaus Wispile and from the hotels.

Cultural and themed trails

Get moving, enjoy nature and learn and experience interesting facts about a topic. This is what the various cultural and themed trails in the Gstaad holiday region offer. Themes such as nature, local traditions, architecture and history can be discovered on the trails.

Long-distance hikes

Discover unspoilt nature and remote places up close and spend the night in special places - this is what makes long-distance hiking a special experience. Three different multi-stage tours lead through the Gstaad holiday region.

On the right-hand side, the narrow hiking trail winds its way forwards along the slope. Far below in the valley you can see Lake Lauenen in a blue/green colour. Behind it, the Lauenenhorn and the Wasserngrat with its green flanks rise up on the right. The long ridge towards Wispile can be seen on the left. The sky is blue with a few white cumulus clouds.
