When Mother Hulda doesn't provide enough snow, we have to help out: with artificial snow. This is now possible at the scout campsite. A 1.5 km circuit can be prepared. Skating and classic. This trail is partially illuminated and can be used as a night trail if this is not possible on the normal night trail. Headlamp recommended.
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.
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
Parking at the Kandersteg Scout Centre
Directions
Follow the signs.
Safety instructions
Please note that you are always travelling at your own risk! The cross-country skiing association does not maintain its own rescue system and does not carry out final slope checks, as is usual in alpine ski areas. Please also note the SOS information signs and the rules of conduct board at the cross-country skiing centre.
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 you use the classic technique or skating: cross-country skiing is healthy and fun!
