Naturpark Gantrisch - The summit hike opens up beautiful views of the Kaiseregg, the Märem, as well as the Simmental and the Fribourg and Bernese Alps.

From the parking lot below Spittel Gantrisch, you hike along the alpine road to the Chueharnisch saddle. From there, a narrow mountain path leads over the rock-strewn ridge to the broad summit of the Schafharnisch.
