G8 Gros Mont: Saanen - Jaun - Gros Mont - Saanen

From Saanen, the first section of this route leads via Unterbort into the Grischbach valley. The route then climbs up to Mittelberg. From here, the descent begins to the remote village of Abländschen, followed by a rather flat section to Jaun. In Jaun, shortly before the village center, turn left onto the gravel road to Im Fang. In Im Fang, cross the main road and continue on the single trail to Pra Jean, where the Vallée du Gros Mont begins. The first part of the valley is rather flat before the ascent in zig-zags to the high plateau begins. The steep climb is rewarded with pristine nature and tranquility. The route continues past Vanil Noir, the highest mountain in the canton of Fribourg, and via Rougemont back to Saanen.
