Intro
The circular tour with its nordic charme winds through a wonderul forest area near the tunnel portal of the Lötschberg railway line. Slight uphills and winding tracks create a interesting training track and an especially charming tour.
Description
The diversified route with its nordic charme starts at the Hotel Des Alpes in Kandersteg. The starting point is easy accessible from the train station of Kandersteg within a 10 minute walk.
The direct access to the route is taking you directly from the Hotel Des Alpes along the track in the direction of Filfalle. From this point, a winding route guides you through the forest of the Scout Center which is used as a camp site in summer. The entire area is influenced and shaped by the rocks that were brought out when the Lötschberg tunnel was built over 100 years ago. Hard working builders transported the material from inside the mountain to Kandersteg which started to shape the area in this region. Some protection walls from this time, hidden carefully in the woods, can still be spotted today.
On the way back to the starting point, the track brings you along open fields – connecting with the central track at the Waldhotel Doldenhorn.
An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
