Mountain biking

Lake Lauenen, the famous and celebrated gem at the end of the Louwene Valley, beckons for a leisurely mountain bike ride. There are a few meters of elevation gain, but back there, far from the noise of the city, these will surely be quickly forgotten.

It only takes a few turns of the pedal to reach the narrow entrance to the tranquil Louwene Valley. Now at the Louwibach stream, you follow it to Lauenen. After riding through the many traditional wooden houses, there is a short, somewhat steeper section, but this is rewarded with the arrival of the unique Lake Lauenen. A stop at the restaurant with a lake view is definitely worth it to take in the scenery at the end of the valley for a while longer.

On the descent back to Lauenen, you ride through the Rohr nature reserve, which, with its lowland moors, is also very worth seeing. From Lauenen, the route returns to Gstaad on the same route, but this time at a faster pace thanks to the downhill ride.

Lauenensee (Lake Lauenen)

Highlight • Lake

In 1982, the Swiss dialect rock band sang "I gloub, i gangä no meh a Louenesee" and thus set a musical monument to the picturesque Lauenensee - there is hardly a Swiss who can not sing the song.

The Lauenensee lies in the midst of a wide Moorwiesen nature reserve and invites with various bathing and fire places, a restaurant and a rowboat rental to a longer stay.

You can find more information about Lake Lauenen at gstaad.ch/sommer/wandern/bergseen.html.
