Built around alpine farms in a side valley above Gstaad, Lauenen grew into a small Bernese Oberland community shaped by pastureland and high mountains. Lake Lauenen, known locally as Lauenensee, lies south of the village beneath the surrounding Alpine slopes and is one of the area’s defining natural landmarks. The village’s Reformed church, with origins in the 16th century, reflects Lauenen’s long-established rural identity. Hiking routes and mountain roads link the settlement with the wider Saanenland.
