Naturpark Gantrisch
July 13, 2026, Gantrisch Lodge Gurnigel Berghaus

*** Grand Reopening on August 1, 2026 *** In the summer of 2026, the Gurnigel Berghaus celebrates its reopening after an extensive renovation. What was once a military accommodation now shines in an alpine chalet style and invites you to linger and relax. The Gurnigel Berghaus has been comprehensively renovated. Many of the materials come from the former Park-Hotel in Gstaad. The freshly renovated mountain house features 27 residential units such as hotel rooms, studios, lofts, and apartments. "We look forward to welcoming gravel bikers, bikers in the summer, and skiers or cross-country skiers in the winter, as well as companies and festive gatherings. Fundamentally, the offering in the Gantrisch region is aimed at nature-loving people who want to relax well. Whether through sports or relaxed lingering."

It's always nice to cross passes that offer new vistas and allow you to step from one world into another. The Leitere Pass is one of those. Coming from Stockhort, you've got the last few meters of the tour to Gurnigel ahead of you, and you can perhaps look forward to a glass of milk or a cheese at Nünenealp. Or you're on your way toward Stockhorn and see the varied trail via Hohmad, Chatz & Mus, and Walalp for the first time. Yes, it is a beautiful place.

From here, numerous worthwhile paths lead off... the further climb up to the Gantrisch summit is very worthwhile
