From Saanenmöser by gondola to the middle station and then further by chairlift to Hornberg. The winter hiking trail passes by the two mountain restaurants Hornberg and Hornflueh towards Gfell. At Gfell, there is a great 360° view of almost the entire holiday region. The path continues over Lägerli to Gruben.

In the second part of the hike from Gruben to Gstaad, you are close to the railway tracks. With some luck, during the hike, the GoldenPass Panoramic train with its famous panoramic carriages glides through the idyllic snow-covered landscape. Shortly afterwards, the destination is already in sight: the chalet village Gstaad and its landmark, the Gstaad Palace with its four distinctive towers. The hiking trail leads once again above Gstaad over the railway line. Then you reach the village, where the charming promenade invites you to stroll and linger.
