For amazement, dreaming and flying: the Fortuna Trail Elsigen offers a little of everything. Curving ascents, two impressive mountain lakes, lovely Alpine pastures and breathtaking views. Those who walk here are immersed in the Oberland mountain world – but are never completely alone. During the summer, the gentle tinkling of cowbells provides a subtle background noise.

First a lakeside trail, then a panoramic view – Fortuna Trail Laueli leads into the heart of Adelboden’s wild and romantic landscape. Among the high points is the Engstligen waterfall, which is one of the highest in Switzerland. The trail is suitable for intermediate to good runners and a must for those who like to run off the beaten track.

A romantic valley, a spectacular climb and turquoise treasure at the finish – Fortuna Trail Gurnigel combines them all and goes even further. If you want to experience Kandersteg from its unspoilt, rugged and alpine side, you won’t be disappointed.
