From Kapälliplatz in Gstaad, stroll towards Saanen to the Galerie Atelier d'Artiste. Pass the railway underpass towards Gschwend and follow the Saane. A quiet, shaded path then leads along the river to the Stiftung Alpenruhe - a home for the disabled with a cafeteria, a large playground, and a petting zoo. Afterwards, hike to the Chouflisbach, which takes you back to the Saane. Follow it until you reach the village of Saanen. After a recommended visit to the Museum of the Saanen Landscape and the Menuhin Center Saanen, your walk ends at the nearby Mauritiuskirche.
