The post bus from Saanen takes you easily to the Mittelberg Pass. From there, this long and spectacular hike leads to the Grubenberg hut and then via Alp Le Savigny to les Rodomonts and down to Pont de la Scie.
From Mittleberg, the trail goes straight up relatively steeply to the Grubenberg hut. After that it's only a short climb and mainly along the impressive mountain flanks of Dent de Ruth and Dent de Savigny. On the way, you will come across alpine orchids or marmots at the right time. Via Alp Savigny and Combette, you descend to Col de la Forcla. From here, continue to Les Rodomonts to enjoy the view of the Saanenland and Pays-d'Enhaut and then descend steeply into the Grischbach valley to Pont de la Scie, where the post bus can take you back to Saanen.
Also a very beautiful hike from Abländschen.
