Description
Scenic winter hike from Hornberg down to Schönried / Current status report: https://www.gstaad.ch/en/quick-links/live-info
From Saanenmöser, take the gondola to the middle station and then continue with the chairlift to Hornberg. The winter hiking trail passes the two mountain restaurants Hornberg and Hornflueh towards Gfell. At Gfell, there is a fantastic 360° view over almost the entire region. The path continues over Berschell to Haldis Bärgli. From there, the winter hiking trail is combined with the Horneggli Run Süd sledging slope. The route then continues down to the Wittere winter hiking trail. Here, the sledging slope separates again from the winter hiking trail, which leads via Schlittmoos past the Fonduecaquelon back to Schönried. Those who prefer to walk back to Saanenmöser can do so via the Wittere path or the Schönried-Saanenmöser panorama path.
ATTENTION: Observe current winter trail reports!
