*** Reopening on August 1, 2026 *** The Gurnigel Berghaus celebrates its reopening in the summer of 2026 after an extensive renovation. What was once a military accommodation now shines in an alpine chalet style and invites you to linger and relax. The Gurnigel Berghaus has been sustainably rebuilt. Many of the materials come from the former Park-Hotel in Gstaad. The freshly renovated mountain inn has 27 residential units such as hotel rooms, studios, lofts, and apartments. "We look forward to welcoming gravel bikers, female bikers in the summer, and skiers or cross-country skiers in the winter, as well as companies and celebration parties. In principle, the offer in the Gantrisch region is aimed at nature-loving people who want to relax well. Whether through sports or relaxed lingering."

The Hinterstockensee is often confused with the Vorderstockensee due to its location. The Hinterstockensee is the one with the island in the middle and is located directly below the middle station. Since the majority of tourists come up by cable car, the misconception quickly arises that this is the front lake. Incidentally, both lakes invite you to swim and barbecue, and when there is no wind, the surrounding mountains are reflected crystal clear on their surfaces. A top-class photo opportunity that no camera can resist. Those devoted to fishing will also get their money's worth here.
