In Frutigen, leave the bypass via the “Frutigen South” exit towards Adelboden until you reach Achseten. Follow the signpost “Elsigbach” in Achseten and turn left immediately after the second bridge to Elsigbach.

Parking

Parking options are available at the valley station of the Elsigenalp cable car. The parking fee is CHF 5.–. Additional free parking spaces are available at the mountain inn Höchst on Metsch.

Safety Instructions
