After a leisurely climb, you reach the rear part of the village, through the campsite of the scout centre to the portal of the Lötschberg tunnel. At the end of this 5 km loop, an easy descent towards the starting point awaits. Thanks to gentle climbs and descents, the time in between is varied.

Approach

By car via Spiez - Frutigen or by car train from Goppenstein to Kandersteg.

Public transport

Arrival at Kandersteg railway station

To the south the Lötschberg, to the north the Kandertal: this station between Brig (38 min.) and Berne (61 min.) operates hourly intervals - an ideal base for many excursions.

Parking

Parking list Kandersteg

The destination has been decided, and so has the parking space - on this map, drivers can quickly and easily find the right parking option in the Oberland municipality. Well then: engine off, cross-country skis on!

Safety instructions

Please note that you are basically on your own responsibility! The cross-country skiing association does not maintain its own rescue system and does not make a final slope check, as is usual in alpine skiing areas. Please also note the SOS information signs as well as the board of rules of conduct at the cross-country skiing centre.

Equipment

Hat, gloves, sunglasses: reliable equipment is particularly important on the cross-country trails. What dresses best? Ask our specialists in the numerous sports shops in the destination.

Tips

Whether with the classic technique or skating: cross-country skiing is healthy and fun!
