From Saanenmöser, take the gondola to the middle station and then continue with the chairlift to Hornberg. The winter hiking trail passes the two mountain restaurants Hornberg and Hornflueh towards Gfell. At Gfell, there is a fantastic 360° view over almost the entire region. The path continues over Berschell to Haldis Bärgli. From there, the winter hiking trail is combined with the Horneggli Run Süd sledging slope. The route then continues down to the Wittere winter hiking trail. Here, the sledging slope separates again from the winter hiking trail, which leads via Schlittmoos past the Fonduecaquelon back to Schönried. Those who prefer to walk back to Saanenmöser can do so via the Wittere path or the Schönried-Saanenmöser panorama path.

ATTENTION: Observe current winter trail reports!

  • Approach

    The Gstaad holiday region is located in the southwest of Switzerland, right on the border to the French-speaking part of the country. The region is easily accessible by train or car from the Thun lake region, the Lake Geneva area, and the Greyerzerland. Direct connections to the European high-speed train network and to all international airports in Switzerland guarantee a time-saving and pleasant arrival. The main means of transport in the Gstaad region are the "MOB" railway (Montreux-Oberland Bernois) and numerous postbus lines.

    On the Arrival and Public Transport page at gstaad.ch, you will find detailed information about getting there.

  • Take the train to Saanenmöser station. From Saanenmöser station, walk to the Saanersloch valley station (5 minutes) and take the gondola to the middle station. Then continue with the chairlift to Hornberg.

    Please observe the train timetable to Saanenmöser station and the operating hours of the mountain railways.
