This circular trail goes around the Hornfluh and has a beautiful view.
A chairlift brings us from Schönried to the starting point Horneggli. The chairlift runs up from the little village of Schönried – it leaves five minutes from the railway station, so is ideal for travellers arriving by rail.
Two sections of this circular route take you around the Hornfluh. A third, steep section is located on the way up to Hornfluh. Apart from the third part the path segments are easily to walk. Best season is from late June to mid-September.

On this hike you find as well the flower trail (Blumenweg). It gives an impression of what can bloom at the altitude of 1,800 meters. The ones which are less interested in the variety of flowers enjoy the beautiful views over the green Saanen landscape and beyond. In the north the Gastlosen and to the south the glacier mountains Wildstrubel and Wildhorn can be seen.
Please take note of the operating dates for the chairlift Horneggli.
