About Lauenen b. Gstaad
Lauenen lies at about 1,250 m in its own valley, a village with several small scattered communities around it, and the Wildhorn among the peaks that form the border with Valais. About 830 people live in the municipality. Gstaad's fame as a spa town in the 1800s later brought visitors here too, and from the 1970s outsiders began buying holiday chalets and villas. Our homes sit in and around the village, mostly small and sleeping two to four, and some have a garden or a fireplace. A signposted 9 km winter walk climbs to Lake Lauenen and returns across the Rohr nature reserve, though snow can block it.
