Ride a gondola up to Wispile and hike along a broad ridge with panorama views of the tall mountains that surround Gstaad. Then stroll through meadows with cows grazing before descending through a forest to reach the Lauenensee lake, where you can swim on a hot day. Here you can picnic or eat the restaurant overlooking the lake. Very close to Gstaad.
