From the Schönried train station follow the Schlittmoosstrasse and the signpost to "Fondue Caquelon Schlittmoos". After a walk of about 15 minutes you will reach the giant Fondue Caquelon. It can accommodate up to eight people and cannot be reserved. The way back: You can hike back the same way to Schönried or extend your hike towards Saanenmöser, from where you can return to Schönried by public transport or on foot along the Panorama Trail. There is no direct access by car to the giant Fondue Caquelon.

Author’s recommendation

Extend your hike towards Gstaad or Saanenmöser and enjoy the unspoilt nature at this destination.
