Wanderung Horneggli-Rinderberg

Wanderung Horneggli-Rinderberg

Spielplatz Rinderberg

The easy high-mountain hike is breath-taking, especially because of its wonderful alpine panorama. It is ideally suited for families and senior citizens.

The 2,079m Rinderberg mountain rears up between Gstaad and Zweisimmen. In winter it’s beloved by skiers but in summer it turns into a hikers’ playground. A chairlift brings us from Schönried to the starting point Horneggli. The chairlift runs up from the little village of Schönried – it leaves five minutes from the railway station, so is ideal for travellers arriving by rail.

Once on the mountain, pick up the well-marked path towards Hornberg - Rinderberg; A rolling alpine path leads from Hornberg to Parwengen. From there the decent climbing to our summit Rinderberg starts. Its an easy uphill on a good mountain path with an incredible view of the Alps mainridge. From the Rinderberg 2,079m summit. Now it’s just a quick downhill to the Rinderberg mountain restaurant located at around 2,000m with its’ cow playground for kids. The gondola brings us back to the beautiful village Zweisimmen. Half way down there’s the option to downhill the rest of the mountain with a scooter.
