Via Alpina
From Lenk to Gstaad
-
Zweisimmen - Hofbrügg
-
Gibel - Gütsch
The trail climbs through alpine pastures to the Stübleni limestone formation, where gypsum bedrock slowly dissolved by rainwater has collapsed into a field of sunken craters — dolinen — that give the Gryden its eerie, moonscape character. At the high point, clear days open a sweeping panorama stretching from the Simmental across the Saanenland to the Fribourg peaks.

Eggweid Mittelstation - Oeschseite
From the gondola's middle station at Eggweid, the descent to Oeschseite passes a collection of wooden sculptures before the trail levels out along a stream toward Zweisimmen, where fire pits dot the riverside path.
