--- title: "Gentle high-altitude hike above the Saanenland" url: "https://www.brienzersee.ch/en/experiences/tour/gentle-high-altitude-hike-above-the-saanenland" description: "From the former mountain lodge Sparenmoos (1632 m), follow the signs towards Hundsrügg, which initially leads gently uphill across the moorland of Tolmoos and Nüjeberg. At Schiltenegg (P.1783), leave the road and ascend directly over the ridge to the summit of Hundsrügg. Here you enjoy a first view of the rock towers of the Gastlosen. Then continue southwestwards along the ridge with a splendid view. At the Luegle saddle, descend keeping right to Alp Bire and follow the high-altitude path past Alp Vorderi Schneit to the Chaltläger trail junction. Soon you reach the grassy saddle at P.1860, from where there is a wonderful panorama of the western part of the Bernese Oberland up to the steep rock peaks Le Rubli and Gummfluh. Shortly after that, Obers Rellerli (1833 m) is reached. Since the operation of the Rellerlibahn was discontinued in 2019, a possible stop at the mountain restaurant is unfortunately not available. Along the toboggan run, the scenic descent begins via the Rellerligrat. This continues over Alp Gspan (1552 m) to Grüebli, where you keep left and then descend via Scharlotti to Schönried." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://img.oastatic.com/img2/53878789/max/variant.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > www.brienzersee.ch > Experiences > Tour" --- GPX Share Gentle high-altitude hike above the Saanenland ============================================== - 14.78 km long - Difficulty: medium - Condition: easy - Hiking Trail - 4:50 h - 14.78 km - 386 m - 788 m - 1,230 m - 1,861 m - 631 m - - Start: Sparenmoos - Destination: Schönried **The grassy, gently sloping, and not very high Hundsrügg appears rather inconspicuous from a distance. But as is often the case, height does not necessarily say anything about the quality of the panorama. Hikes around Hundsrügg are always scenic adventures with unobstructed views of the rock teeth of the Gastlosen to the northeast and of striking peaks like Giferspitz and Spillgerte on the other side. The glacier mountains around Wildstrubel, Wildhorn, and Diablerets add a beautiful contrast to the panorama over the green Saanenland.** From the former mountain lodge Sparenmoos (1632 m), follow the signs towards Hundsrügg, which initially leads gently uphill across the moorland of Tolmoos and Nüjeberg.
