Hiking in Gstaad
Gstaad is a fancy fancy tourist town with a downtown area where cars aren't allowed. Their bakeries sell teeny tiny cookies for $4, which is expensive even by
Switzerland standards. The most notable thing about Gstaad, however, is the Wispile, a ridge which gives views of the surrounding valleys and nearby mountains.
The first part of the ridge is completely flat, giving you the option of walking the first part and then retracing your steps, and gradually walking downhill into Gstaad, or going the rest of the way and going down to Gsteig.
This is how it would have looked if it hadn't been rainy and foggy the entire
time I had been there.
