After your arrival at Lac Léman, hand over your luggage to our courier for transport to the hotel (at an extra charge of CHF 35.- p.p.) and follow the Pléiades trail through a wildly romantic pre-Alpine landscape. Enjoy the breathtaking view back - over Lake Geneva to the Dents du Midi and Mont Blanc. In the idyllic Les Paccots, the newly opened boutique hotel Corbetta awaits you with comfortable rooms in local wooden décor, regional specialities and a small but fine spa to relax in. For your next stage, continue up through the rustic forest, along the foot of the Teysachaux and Moléson towards Gruyère. On the way - as well as on the "path of the cheese dairies" between Moléson-sur-Gruyères and Pringy - you can explore traditional alpine huts and taste local products. From afar, you can see the 12th century town of Gruyères on its prominent hill. At the foot of the hill, visit the interactive exhibition "Gruyère AOP as an experience for the senses" at the Maison du Gruyère before immersing yourself in the charming medieval town. After a short bus ride you reach Charmey and the Chalet-Hotel Cailler, where your luggage is already waiting for you. Relax in the Bains de la Gruyère with a water landscape of more than 650 m2 of water surface (free access included) and enjoy regional specialities in French interpretations in the bistro in the evening.

After an overnight stay at the Hotel Cailler in Charmey, a good "pre-relaxation" at the "Bains de la Gruyère" and a hearty breakfast, you leave your luggage at the reception for further transport and take the post bus to Jaun. There, the chairlift takes you comfortably to the Bärghus Gastlosen - the starting point for your first stage of the hike. Captivated by the view of the impressive Gastlosen mountain range - also known as the "Saanenland Dolomites" because of its remarkable shape - you set off towards the Wolfs Ort Pass. You descend to the Mittelberg, with an optional diversions to the Grubenberghütte. You then continue over the "Mittleri Schneit" to Gstaad-Schönried, where a refreshing welcome drink and a sweet snack from the "Chuechetisch" await you at the ERMITAGE Wellness and Spa Hotel. Relax your tired muscles in the spacious wellness area and end the day with a delicious multi-course dinner. Pure pleasure!

Before continuing your hike, take a break in the wellness oasis of the Hotel ERMITAGE. Here, at an altitude of 1200 metres, the motto is "climb to descend". Passively and actively. Whether it's wellness in the mountains, an Alpine massage, sunbathing, participating in the hotel's fitness programme or actively exploring the beautiful mountain landscape with the ERMITAGE guides. There's something for everyone! And let's not forget the culinary journey through the local and creative cuisine during the hearty breakfast and the multi-course dinner!

And you continue on foot through the fascinating world of the Saanenland mountains. We have selected two hikes for you that will take you to the pleasant mountain village of Lauenen: either the Hard Core Tour on the Via Alpina through the wild and romantic Turbachtal and over the "Türli", or the pleasant hike from Gsteig near Gstaad over the castle falls to Lauenen. On both hikes, you will enjoy magnificent views of the icy mountains of the Wildstrubel and Wildhorn. At the end, the Chalet-Hotel Alpenland in Lauenen is in sight. An establishment where friendship is lived, combining true Swiss tradition with culinary delights under a welcoming roof. Make yourself comfortable in the newly renovated rooms, relax in the mountain sauna and let your taste buds feast!
