Take the Betelberg gondola up to Leiterli at just under 2000 m above sea level. The route begins with a descent, first along the ski lift and then continuing to the Betelberg high trail on the winter hiking path. Now the route leads away from prepared and marked trails into untouched terrain. Over the Haslerberg, the path is mostly flat towards the destination of the route, the Tube. Below the crater landscape of the Gryden begins the pleasant ascent, with only the last few meters to the Tube being a bit steeper. The panorama at the top of the Tube (2107 m above sea level), of the surrounding Simmental and Saanenland mountains is brilliant. Lauenenhorn, Laaglehorn and in the distance the Albristhorn and Wildstrubel line up, along with many other peaks, all around.

After a well-deserved break, return on the same route back to Leiterli.
