Saanen

Saanen sits in the upper Saane valley in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland, where Alpine meadows rise toward the surrounding peaks and the river begins its long course toward the Aare. The village is the administrative centre of the Saanenland and shares its municipality with Gstaad, the resort settlement a short distance down the valley. At its centre stands the late-Gothic Church of St Maurice, reflecting a community shaped by mountain farming and routes linking the Bernese and Vaud Alps. Traditional timber houses and working pastures give Saanen a more local character than its internationally known neighbour.
