Location & Access

Chalet Mannenburg is located in Mannried, a quiet hamlet close to Zweisimmen in the Upper Simmental. Zweisimmen provides the nearest everyday shops, train station and access to the Rinderberg lift, while Gstaad is around 15-20 minutes away by car for boutiques and a more glamorous resort atmosphere.

For skiing, the closest access point is the Rinderberg gondola in Zweisimmen, linking into the Rinderberg–Saanersloch–Horneggli ski area. This connects Zweisimmen, St. Stephan, Saanenmöser and Schönried, giving skiers a good range of pistes, mountain restaurants and alternative starting points depending on the day’s plans. Saanenmöser and Schönried are both useful options for accessing the same ski area from the Gstaad side, while Lenk offers another direction to explore within the wider Simmental.
