Saanenmöser – Schönried – Gstaad

This trail starts in Saanenmöser and continues on to Schönried (1,230 metres above sea level) along trail no. 447 for wheelchair users. The beautiful, sunny and level panoramic route crosses the Moos plateau from Saanenmöser to Schönried, the Gstaad region’s sunny mountain terrace. The trail leaves the wheelchair-accessible path and continues on towards Gstaad. This easy hiking trail runs along the foot of the Hornberg and maintains a continual gentle descent to Gstaad. As you cross meadows and pathways you have beautiful views of Saanen, the historical heart of the Saanenland. This village, with its cosy chalets dating from the 15th to the 18th century, is on the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites. Not to be missed: the Le Rubli, or as the Saanenlanders call it: Rübli(horn), towering majestically into the sky. The second part of the hike brings you close to the railway tracks. With a bit of luck you will see the GoldenPassPanoramic train with its famous panorama cars gliding its way through the idyllic landscape. Soon you catch sight of your destination and within a few minutes you reach the chalet village of Gstaad and its special landmark, the Gstaad Palace with its four striking towers. Once again, the hiking trail above Gstaad takes you across the railway line before you reach the village with its charming and inviting promenade.
