Why this trip
Gstaad has its reputation as a winter meeting place, but in summer the Saanenland shows itself from its quiet, sporty side. Soft pastures, forests and rock steps make up hiking trails that are rarely overcrowded. Among them is the path up the Wispile, where you walk over alpine meadows and through larch forest and can use the mountain railway for the way back. Higher up you go on Glacier 3000.
Up there snow and ice lie even in high summer, and the Peak Walk links two summits via a suspension bridge, ideal for travellers with respect for heights but without alpine equipment. If you seek more distance, hike from hut to hut across the border between the Bernese Oberland and the Vaud Alps. The best time is between June and September. With Interlaken, Bern or Verbier nearby, the trip can be extended into a circular tour.
Whether a day hike is enough or several stages make sense is something you clarify together in the video call. Pack for sun and cold at once, because at almost 3,000 metres the weather changes faster than in the valley.
