From the parking lot at the exit St. Stephan the route starts on a short section of the main road, then immediately left onto the "Dürrenwaldstrasse" and at the first junction right onto the "Reulissentrasse" up to the "Rüwlispass". Past the beautiful mountain huts, the path leads along the gravel road to the Hornberg and on to the Horneggli.

From here the descent starts on the single trail to Saanenmöser, then on the mountain bike route No.1 to Zweisimmen and back to St. Stephan.

This route is very demanding with the gravel bike. Therefore, only recommended for experienced gravel bikers.
