One of the most impressive winter hikes in the canton of Bern is found on the Wispile near Gstaad. The mountain, popular in summer, also offers very beautiful hiking trails with wonderful panoramas in winter. However, the cable car only operates over the holidays and in February (check the timetable). From the mountain station, the panoramic winter hiking trail runs over the broad and elongated ridge of the Wispile to Chrinetritt. On the well-prepared and wide path, you can enjoy a fantastic view of the snow-covered mountain world. Halfway to Chrinetritt, at the Alp Vordere Höji Wispile, you can enjoy your own fondue in the oversized fondue caquelon in a wonderful setting. The backpack with all ingredients is available at the mountain station (order required at 033 744 11 15!). At the end of the Wispile ridge, the panoramic winter hiking trail ends. For those who prefer a leisurely pace, it is possible to walk back on the same route to the Wispile mountain station. A bit more challenging is the descent from Chrinetritt to Gsteig. For this route, it is recommended to take a sled and enjoy the descent at a fast pace. From Gsteig, the PostBus takes you back to Gstaad.
