Description
Beautiful freeriding route from the Rinderberg mountain station over the Gandlouene ridge - Rüwlispass - Upper Laseberg - Wistätthorn and then ...
From the village of Zweisimmen or from the Schönried - Saanenmöser - Zweisimmen ski area, take the gondola up to the Rinderberg mountain station. After a short initial ascent with few altitude meters, you will reach the summit of the Rinderberg. From there, you initially descend along the ridge down to the Parwengensattel, which can also be reached by chairlift. Then follows a short variant descent to the Rüwlispass. From there begins the ascent to the Hinder Laseberg. Then the route follows the ridge in the direction of the Rüwlishorn. In the cirque below the Rüwlishorn, the ascent continues southwards along the ridge. The Wistätthorn offers a unique view over the Bernese Alps and the Gastlosen. The ski descent can lead back to the ski area, to the village of St. Stephan, or to Turbach.
