You can use the swimming pools and the spa area of the neighbouring hotel at a reduced rate. The 18-hole golf course of Gstaad is only a 10-minute drive from the hotel. As a hotel guest you will receive a green fee discount of 10%. The Horneggli and Rellerli cable cars are only a few minutes' walk away from the Kernen hotel. The Hotel Kernen is an ideal starting point to the hiking paths and mountain bike trails, as well as the ski slopes and cross-country ski runs of the Gstaad-Saanenland region.
