Summertime
Summertime is all about the Alps in Adelboden. This is when the mead-ows burst into bloom – little wonder that hundreds of cows are drawn up there. The “Alpaufzug” – the annual procession of cows – up to Engstligenalp is particularly impressive. It passes the 600 m Engstligen Falls on the way to an enormous plateau, where the beloved children’s cartoon character Globi serves as an Alpine herder for the summer. The idyllic Alpine scenery between the Niesenkette mountain range and the Wildstrubel massif can be further explored on foot, along flower-fringed paths. While the hardcore hikers can tackle the stages of the outstanding Via Alpina, more leisurely walkers can take to the Vogellisi Trail and get to know one of the most famous figures in Swiss mythology. The breath-taking mountain scenery also serves as a backdrop for other summer activities. The colorful gondolas on the Tschentenbahn cable car take visitors up to the Giant Swing – a selfie hotspot loved by young and old alike. Meanwhile, on the other side, in Silleren, it’s all about the fat tires: in the scooters’ paradise that is Trottiland, guests can whiz along seven trails totaling 45 km toward the valley.

Wintertime
For those seeking a winter fairytale, there’s one to suit everyone in Ad-elboden. Featherlight, powdery snow and glittering snow crystals lie all around – but they’re just the start. With 210 km of beautifully groomed pistes, 72 powerful transport systems, a snow park and a freeriding are-na, both beginners and pros are spoiled for choice. And for those who like their skiing more on the level, there are plenty of varied cross-country routes, too. Explore the Alpine winter wonderland in Loh-nerdorf via romantic walking trails and exhilarating sledging runs. And once you call into one of the many mountain restaurants or Alpine huts for a bite to eat, there’s only one thing you’ll want to do: stay. The winter culinary offering is topped off by Europe’s largest igloo restaurant. Enjoy an authentic Adelboden winter experience on the Engstligenalp, sur-rounded by amazing ice sculptures and the heavenly aroma of fondue.
