From Zweisimmen railway station, take the bus to the starting point at the DAO Sparenmoos seminar house. From there, the route descends gently in a north-easterly direction to the Site Alp, where a breathtaking view of the Simmental opens up. On the Site Alp, the buvette invites you to take a cosy break. The way back leads uphill in a south-westerly direction over a ridge back to the DAO Sparenmoos seminar house.
