Adelboden Reviews & Discussions

Adelboden village is very pretty and a working village, easily accessible by train and bus from the major Swiss cities. There are a wide variety of shops, everything a skier could need. Plenty of souvenir, Cheese and chocolate shops.

A ski hire shop in the village and one at the base of the gondola station should see you kitted out easily.

The skiing areas are accessed by several gondolas. There are a variety of lift passes to buy, depending on what you want to ski over the Adelboden- Lenk area, so a good idea to look at the websites before you travel. The lift company are very efficient at answering emails, a rarity these days. Once up the top there are a wide variety of runs and the beginners area is accessed by ski bus from the middle station, head to Geils. The restaurant at the top of Silleren has magnificent views - and also magnificent prices - but you are in Switzerland!! There are plenty of other places to stop too. Tschenten is another ski area and also has toboganning. The World Cup Run is also available during the day and for night skiing. You'll meet a lot of different nationalities there, very nice!
