Embedded in a wonderful mountain landscape lies the Sparenmoos cross-country trail. The area at the foot of Hundsrügg above Zweisimmen has already been the venue for the Swiss Championships in cross-country skiing several times. It consists of a varied mosaic of moors, pastures, and small woods. Because of its special beauty and the diversity of moor types, the Sparenmoos-Nujeberg area, through which the trail is also groomed, is considered a moorland of national importance.

The trail on the snow-secure, sun-drenched high plateau impresses with a varied route through the gentle hilly landscape. It enchants with a fantastic view from the Stockhorn to Les Diablerets. From the start at the mountain hut Sparenmoos, it first goes towards Site-Alp, from where the view into the Simmental opens. From there, an extra loop of about 3 km is made on the floor of the Site. Those who want can conclude the cross-country skiing experience in the buvette right at the finish with a snack made from regional products.

    The holiday region Gstaad is located in the southwest of Switzerland, directly on the border to the French-speaking part of the country. The region is easily accessible by train or car from the Lake Thun region, the Lake Geneva area, and the Gruyère region. Direct connections to the European high-speed train network and all international airports in Switzerland guarantee a time-saving and pleasant arrival. The main means of transport in the Gstaad region are the railway "MOB" (Montreux-Oberland Bernois) and numerous postal bus lines.
