The mountain trail leads from Lauenensee into the wild Geltental, shaped by Geltenschuss and the Wildhorn. The ascent to the Geltenhütte SAC passes wild gorges and smaller waterfalls via the Alp Undere Feisseberg. The ascent next to the thundering Geltenschuss becomes an experience, as the path in the upper third passes behind a small waterfall. Good surefootedness is required in some places. Afterwards, you reach the Geltenhütte via alpine pastures.

The mountain trail to Chüetungel crosses the mountain slope below the Follhore. In the upper section, stairs or ropes are installed at some places. Special caution is required on this section. From Chüetungel, it goes steeply down to the parking lot very close to Lauenensee.

  • Approach

    The Gstaad holiday region is located in the southwest of Switzerland, directly on the border with the French-speaking part of the country. The region is easily accessible by train or car from the Thun Lake 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 the region are the "MOB" railway (Montreux-Oberland Bernois) and numerous post bus lines.

    Lauenensee is accessible from Gstaad by post bus or by car. (Except in winter)

    On the page Arrival and public transport on gstaad.ch you will find detailed arrival information.
