Glacier lakes around Gstaad
There is nothing more rewarding than a mountain hike followed by a cooling swim in a lake. With an abundance of lakes, rivers and waterfalls to discover, you will never get tired of Gstaad’s magnificent natural landscape.
Lac de Sanetsch is a reservoir below Sanetsch Pass in Valais – for those who want a challenge, it is a 2-3 hour hike; or you can take the gondola up. Visit the “Pearl of the Saanenland”, Lake Arnen, which is an idyllic spot with a mountain restaurant. And a trip to the iconic Lake Lauenen, which has inspired artists, should not be missed. A mountain guide can be arranged for strenuous journeys.
