Description
From the Wispile mountain station, a winter hiking trail leads over the Wispile ridge to Chrinetritt and continues as a popular sledding route to Gsteig. Parallel to the winter hiking trail, there are wonderful powder snowfields along the entire ridge, which are ideal for snowshoeing. In addition, there is a beautiful view of the mountain world of the Saanenland. Halfway to Chrinetritt, at the alpine huts of Vorder Höji Wispile, you will encounter a wooden fondue Caquelon. Here you can enjoy your brought fondue in a unique setting.
Those who have had enough of the powder snow here can switch back to the winter hiking trail and follow it via Chrinetritt further down to the alpine huts of Chrine. Here the winter hiking trail to Gsteig and the signposted snowshoe trail to Lauenen divide. There follows a short ascent to Chrine, the well-known crossing between Gsteig and Lauenen. Then follows a wonderful descent through snow-covered fir forest. In this section, the trail mostly follows the course of the summer hiking trail. In the Bruchli area, you leave the forest and enjoy a nice panorama of the opposite Lauenehore and Wasserngrat. Further down, at the ski lift mountain station, you leave the quiet winter landscape. Between the button lift and the slope (caution when crossing), the trail winds down towards Lauenen. The Hotel Alpenland with its beautiful terrace and magnificent panorama welcomes you for a well-deserved rest at the goal.
