Starting from Zweisimmen train station, the route leads leisurely to St. Stephan and from there up the «Reulissentrasse» to the «Rüwlispass». Past the beautiful mountain huts, the path follows the gravel road to Hornberg and continues to Horneggli. From here, the descent starts on the single trail to Saanenmöser, then via Mountainbike Route No. 1 back to Zweisimmen. Those who like single trails can also add the Simmengrund Trail between Oeschseite and Zweisimmen.

This route is very demanding with a gravel bike. Therefore, recommended only for experienced gravel bikers.
Those who prefer to stay on roads can also take the road from Hornberg to Saanenmöser.

  • Approach

    The Gstaad holiday region is located in the southwest of Switzerland, right on the border with the French-speaking part of the country. The region can be easily reached 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 to all international airports in Switzerland guarantee a time-saving and pleasant arrival. The main means of transport in Gstaad are the "MOB" railway (Montreux-Oberland Bernois) and numerous postal bus lines.
