Fortuna Trails

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.

This trail brings running enthusiasts to Adelboden's local mountain and combines an active experience with the beautiful natural beauty of the Bernese Oberland. The trail for all levels opens up a unique view of the mountain world and is a must for an active holiday in the Adelboden region.

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.

From a gentle jog to a proper sweat – Fortuna Trail Üschenen takes runners up step by step until the view opens up to take in the whole of Kandersteg. A trail for those who like narrow paths, dense forests and challenging climbs.

The ascent into the mountain forest is followed by the crossing of the Wallbach stream, the descent along the waterway and the finish at Lenkerseeli: this loop with start and finish in the village of Lenk includes many refreshing experiences in the cool water. This makes the Fortuna Trail Wallbach perfect for sunny race days.
