This tour takes you from the down-to-earth Lenk around the iconic Giferspitz in the direction of glamorous Gstaad. From the mountain station of the Betelberg cable car, we walk up to the Tube and, after a short intermediate descent, up to the Lauenenhorn. A beautiful, varied descent to below the tree line ends in Gstaad or – depending on the snow conditions – alternatively in the village of Lauenen, from where the return journey awaits after a final drink.
You can also hire equipment from us.
