This is Adelboden
Adelboden is located in the southwest of Switzerland, in the
Bernese Oberland. This mountain village at the foot of the Wildstrubel is a popular destination thanks to its extensive Adelboden-Lenk ski area and excursions to the
Engstligen Falls or the dramatic
Cholerenschlucht gorge.
Discover Adelboden
Start your walk in the heart of the village, where one charming wooden chalet stands next to another. You’ll pass by cafés, sports shops, and souvenir stores. Wondering about the “Vogellisi” sculptures scattered around the village? Within minutes, a gondola takes you up to the
Silleren, where the legend of Adelboden’s famous folkloric figure is revealed. Just as quickly, you can reach the
Tschentenalp, where a giant swing with panoramic views awaits.
The Adelboden-Lenk Ski Area
One of Switzerland’s largest ski areas offers more than 200 kilometres of perfectly groomed pistes. On the
Chuenisbärgli World Cup mountain, you can even test your skills on the legendary giant slalom course. Numerous mountain huts with sun terraces provide a welcome energy boost. Or how about a fondue in an igloo on the
Engstligenalp? A great choice for families: the Globi kids’ area and the thrilling
sledding runs.
Outdoor Adventures in Adelboden
Adelboden is a true paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Over 300 kilometres of hiking trails lead to idyllic spots such as the
Engstligenalp and the mighty
Engstligen Falls, among the most water-rich in Switzerland. In early summer, the blooming alpine meadows and the traditional alpine ascent along the pack trail create a unique experience. Another top tip: hike through the spectacular
Cholerenschlucht with its bridges and stairways.
