Wispile

A gentle ridge south of Gstaad that can be hiked to Lauenen in summer. It is known in winter for its long toboggan runs and winter walking trails.

Wispile stands at about 1,910 m. The cable car departs from the south side of Gstaad village, and the summit is a broad, gentle ridge facing the Gifferhorn and the Lauenen valley. In summer you can follow the ridge trail toward Lauenensee, a walk of about 2 to 3 hours past high-mountain pastures and wildflowers. In winter there are ski runs suited to intermediate and beginner skiers, along with long toboggan runs. The summit restaurant has excellent views and is great for families with children.
