The panorama murals of the Bärengraben restaurant were painted in 1922 by the Bernese arts and crafts teacher Paul Wyss (1875-1952). Wyss was a member of the Bern Ski Club, which built a club hut on the Hornberg in 1908/09. Paul Wyss could not afford to stay in the club hut and therefore agreed with Rudolf Wehren, the builder of the Saanenmöser Spa and Sports Hotel (now the Golf Hotel), that he would paint the murals in exchange for room and board. But why the Bernese heraldic animal in human form? The versatile artist also drew for the Emmentaler Brattig, whereby a person who recognised himself in the picture reacted very unhappily. As a result, Wyss decided never to draw humans again, but instead to draw humorous bear caricatures with human features. You can see, for example, the then owner Rudolf Wehren, the photographer Nägeli, the mountain guide Romang and the councillor Reichenbach.

The large-scale, almost 360-degree murals are a visual delight and show scenes of celebrations, of holidays in Saanenmöser and of the construction of the Montreux-Berner Oberland Railway MOB. Hotelier Walter von Siebenthal has translated these scenes into stories: a smile is guaranteed when reading.
