Update: 13.06.2024

Responsible for the content Tourism Adelboden-Lenk-Kandersteg

From Allmenalp (cable car mountain station) via Steintal on a steep but well maintained mountain hiking route to the summit. An interesting descent via Stand summit to Elsigenalp (cable car and bus to Frutigen-Kandersteg.)At the summit the route continues along a rocky section, with guide ropes for safety, then along a narrow path with a very steep slope - only suitable for experienced hikers with good trekking shoes and safe step. Not recommended in bad weather or snow.

Gastronomy Restaurant Allmenalp, Elsigenalp

    By car via Frutigen or by car train from Goppenstein to Kandersteg.

    The Lötschberg to the south, the Kandertal to the north: this railway station between Brig (38 min.) and Bern (61 min.) operates an hourly service - an ideal base for many excursions.

    The destination has been decided, as has the parking space - this map helps drivers to quickly and easily find a suitable parking space in the Oberland municipality. Well then: engine off, hiking boots on!
