Every metre climbed is worth the effort. From the centre of the picturesque chalet village of Adelboden, it's not far to the Höreli Alpine Garden – this romantic spot offers some magnificent views. After the ascent to Tschentenalp, however, you really begin to feel the power of the mountain world. Here the panorama sweeps all the way from Engstligenalp to the Hahnenmoos Pass. And on the return journey, Taubenfelsen promises further visual delights.

  • Public transport

    Arrival by bus in Adelboden

    Up to the Alp or down to Frutigen? The bus station in the village centre connects the whole Engstlige Valley. This tranquil mountain village is only 90 minutes away from the nation's capital city, Berne.

  • Parking in Adelboden

    Find the best places to park in the local area. There's nothing in your way now, so engine off and trail shoes on!

  • Beginning in Adelboden village, the route leads out of the valley to Ausserschwand and soon begins a steady climb "Höreli". Here, the trail changes direction and snakes its way up to Tschentenalp. The highest point of the trail promises a breathtaking panorama. To head back, first descend towards Schärmtanne but branch off towards Taubenfelsen and Adelboden Dorf.

  • The more extreme the conditions, the more important your equipment. Longer mountain tours, for example, require weatherproof clothing and a small running backpack with food.

  • Must have:

    Trail running shoes

    Emergency blanket

    Mobile phone

    Snacks and water

    Wind- and rain-proof jacket

    Nice to have:

    Trail running backpack

    Headlamp

    Sticks
