Hiking

Are you looking for a short, family-friendly hike at high altitude that's still easy to walk? Then this circular hike around the Hornfluh is just right for you. It starts at the Horneggli mountain station – assuming you can tear yourself away from the secluded surroundings and the beautiful station itself.

On the hike itself, however, the colorful splendor of the Flower Trail with its biodiversity and the views of the verdant Saanenland and the Gastlosen mountain range are enticing. You can extend your stay on the circular route a little by treating yourself to a delicious meal at the Hornfluh restaurant before returning to the Horneggli mountain station.

Along the trail, you'll find a wide variety of flowers. If you don't recognize the different flowers, you can find their names on the signs.
