Beschrijving
Enjoy an easy ride by cable car to the Berghaus Wispile. Here, there is a special treat in store for the younger guests - a petting zoo with goats, rabbits and other animals as well as a playground. And from here, the high-altitude trail starts that leads to the legendary Lake Lauenen. As you follow the ridge, you enjoy breathtaking panoramic views over the Saanenland and the imposing peaks of the Oldenhorn Group. On the way to the Chrinetritt you will pass one of the two giant fondue caquelons found at the destination of Gstaad (approx. 40 minutes from Wispile mountain station). If you have a fondue rucksack with you, you can enjoy a delicious fondue right here and now, surrounded by mountain scenery.
The backpacks with all the necessary ingredients are available at all Alpine dairies in the Saanenland if reserved in advance.
Once at the Chrinetritt, the trail takes you along the ridge and up the Chrine Pass. Once there, you scale about 100 altitude metres on the way towards Lake Lauenen. Now going downhill again, you reach the pristine nature reserve at Lake Lauenen. This gained nationwide fame through the song about it by the band known as «Span». After taking some refreshments at the lake shore or at the local restaurant, you can catch the post bus to Gstaad that leaves the parking area at Lake Lauenen or you can walk through the pristine «Rohr» as far as the village of Lauenen and catch the post bus there.
De sleutel voor een prettige wandeltocht is onder andere een zorgvuldige planning. Win op voorhand inlichtingen in bij de plaatselijke informatiedienst over de toestand van het traject en de weersomstandigheden. Afhankelijk van het seizoen en de weersomstandigheden kan de route gesloten of onderbroken zijn.
