During this hike you are sure to be impressed by the Gstaad Dolomites around the limestone pillars of "le Rubli".

At Rougemont, take the gondola lift to La Videmanette. This hike starts at the mountain station and is almost level for the first 800 metres. Good surefootedness is required in some places. You then make a steep descent towards Les Praz. After a further 2.5 km over the rather flat terrain with views of Saanenland there is a consistent climb of 350 height metres back to the La Videmanette mountain station. After your walk, enjoy a tasty treat at the La Videmanette mountain restaurant and take in the amazing and extensive views of the Bernese and Vaudois Alps.

Please take note of the operating dates for lifts and cable cars.
