The Betelberg gondola lift takes hikers comfortably to the starting point of the hike, Leiterli, at just under 2,000 meters above sea level. More or less flat, the trail leads past numerous alpine roses in bloom towards Gryden. At the Trüttlisberg Pass, the route crosses the Gryden. This bizarre crater landscape is an impressive natural spectacle that not only fascinates geologists. The view of the Simmental and Saanenland 3000-metre peaks, including the Wildstrubel and Wildhorn, is particularly beautiful from here. The grassy flank of the Lauenenhorn is crossed on a beautiful high-level trail. From the Turnelsattel, you head over hill and dale, along the partly exposed ridge, towards the Wasserngrat mountain station.

The chairlift (note opening times!) takes you down to the valley in a relaxed manner. The post bus takes hikers to Gstaad and the train from Gstaad back to Lenk.
