Panoramic hike into the Saanenland

Already at the mountain station of the Rinderberg cable car, the impressive panorama captivates you. The panoramic view is completely overwhelming after overcoming some altitude on the broad, well-developed ridge path over the Gandlouenegrat: from Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau through Wildstrubel and Diablerets to the Fribourg Alps extends a glowing ring of magnificent peaks. Ahead lies the striking elevation of Giferspitz. A slight descent leads to the alpine hut of Parwenge, where the path turns westward and now leads along the south flank of Horntube with the finest views of Saanenland. In the depths lies the Turbach valley, belonging to the municipality of Saanen, which has been able to preserve its character shaped by mountain agriculture until today. On the broad, gravelled farm road, you continue descending lightly to the alpine hamlet Hornberg/Uf de Chessle.

After a short ascent, the Hornflue is bypassed to the west, and soon the chair lift mountain station Horneggli is in sight. The view into the Saanenland, over to the Gastlosen and into the Simmental is wonderful.
