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
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.

Directions
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.
