The starting point is the fashionable village of Gstaad with its distinctive chalet style and lush green alpine meadows. On this route, you simply follow the singletrails along the Louwi stream up to Lauenen. At the end of the gently rising valley to the south lies the idyllic mountain village of Lauenen, where local culture, old traditions, and gentle tourism harmoniously complement each other. To the south, the mighty three-thousanders Wildhorn and Oldenhorn mark the border to the cantons of Vaud and Valais. Colorful dry meadows line the roadside above the «Sunnigi Louwene». Significantly more barren vegetation characterizes the Turbach Valley beyond the Trütlisberg Pass. Here, too, it is best to follow the singletrails rather than the officially signposted route. The further you follow the Turbach stream down the valley, the greener the meadows become. Steep slopes on the left and right surround the secluded valley, which is only inhabited year-round in the lower part and is known for its over 75-year-old livestock cooperative.

  • Directions

    Gstaad - Lauenen - Sunnigi Louwene - Uf der Flue - Türli - Birchi - Turbach - Gstaad

  • Technically demanding route, only for experienced e-mountain bikers.

    On the ascent to Trütlisberg via Lauenen, from point 1539 «Flueweid», there is a very steep section. From Wintermatte, a trail along the stream is possible.

    Some carrying sections on single trails occur when ascending Trütlisberg via Turbach Valley. Single trail sections partially in wetland, narrow metal grids. After longer rainy periods, this route is less recommended because the first part of the descent follows a narrow path through wet slopes.

  • Mountain bike, weather-appropriate clothing and equipment, puncture repair kit and first aid kit.
