Few things go together as well as altitude and cross-country trails. The surrounding peaks provide an impressive backdrop, while guaranteed snow and well-prepared tracks guarantee the right surface - whether for classic technique, skating, alone or with your dog.
Sunnbüel high-altitude trail. It's flat, it's wide, it's high: with these characteristics, the Spittelmatte is naturally predestined for a sunny cross-country skiing circuit. After a short descent from the mountain station, up to 5 kilometres of trails await on the snow-covered plateau.
Cross-country skiers with good downhill technique start the route at the mountain station. For weaker skiers, however, we recommend tackling the first steep descent on foot.
The dog trail shares the track with the normal trail, so please be considerate of other cross-country skiers, collect your four-legged friend's business and don't let them run free.
In combination with a season cross-country skiing regional pass Kandersteg, we offer a connection pass for the winter season at an attractive CHF 80.00. Available at the ticket office at the Sunnbüel valley station.
In combination with a cross-country ski pass, we offer our cross-country skiers discounted prices for the return journey on the Kandersteg-Sunnbüel cable car.
There is an annual pass for your dog for CHF 15.00. Available at the ticket office at the Sunnbüel valley station.
There is a changing room, lockers and showers available at the mountain station.
Approach
By car via Spiez - Frutigen or by car train from Goppenstein to Kandersteg.
Public transport
South of the Lötschberg, north of the Kander Valley. For this point between Brig (38 min.) and Bern (61 min.), an hourly train service is in operation – this is an ideal meeting point for many tours.
Continue your journey by bus! The AFA bus runs every hour from Kandersteg railway station to the cable car valley station within 10 minutes. The gondola then takes you comfortably up to 1936 metres above sea level.
Parking
There is a car park right next to the Sunnbüel cable car.
Directions
From the mountain station Sunnbüel via the feeder trail to the Spittelmatte cross-country skiing hut.
Cross-country skiers with good downhill technique can ski the steep descent on the feeder trail. For weaker skiers, however, we recommend walking down the first steep descent on the feeder trail.
Safety instructions
Please note that you are always travelling at your own risk! There is no final piste control, as is usual in alpine ski areas.
Equipment
Hat, gloves, sunglasses: reliable equipment is particularly important on the cross-country ski trails. What is the best clothing? Ask our specialists in the numerous sports shops in the destination.
Tips
Whether classic technique or skating: cross-country skiing is healthy and fun! Doubly so with your dog!
