Saanen District is one of the 26 administrative districts in the canton of Bern, Switzerland. Its capital, while having administrative power, was the municipality of Saanen. From 1 January 2010, the district lost its administrative power while being replaced by the Obersimmental-Saanen (administrative district), whose administrative centre is still Saanen. Since 2010, it remains therefore a fully recognised district under the law and the Constitution (Art.3 al.2) of the Canton of Berne. The district has an area of 241 km2 and consists of 3 municipalities:
| Municipality | Population (Dec 2007)[1] | Area (km2) |
|---|---|---|
| Gsteig bei Gstaad | 964 | 62.4 |
| Lauenen | 802 | 58.7 |
| Saanen | 6,874 | 119.8 |
