Cross-country skiers with good downhill technique start the route at the mountain station. For weaker skiers, however, we recommend walking down the first steep descent.
The 5 km (depending on snow conditions between 3.5 - 8 km) circular route runs flat on the Spittelmatte at the foot of the Altels and offers a breathtaking experience in Kandersteg.
In combination with a Kandersteg regional cross-country pass, we offer a connecting subscription for the aerial cableway for the 2023/24 winter season at an attractive CHF 80.00.
In combination with a trail pass, we offer our cross-country skiers reduced prices for the return trip with the Kandersteg-Sunnbüel aerial cableway. Available at the ticket office at the Sunnbüel valley station.
Cross-country skiing is an ideal endurance sport for people – and also for your dog. Your four-legged friend is welcome on this trail. Please pick up your dog's waste, do not let it run free, and be considerate of other cross-country skiers. There is an annual pass for your dog for CHF 15.00. Available at the ticket office at the Sunnbüel valley station.
At the mountain station, there is a changing room, storage lockers, and showers available to you.

Arrival at Kandersteg train station
South of the Lötschberg, north of the Kandertal: This train station between Brig (38 min) and Bern (61 min) has an hourly schedule – an ideal base for many excursions.
The AFA bus runs every hour and takes 10 minutes from Kandersteg train station to the valley station of the cableway. Then continue comfortably by gondola up to 1936 m above sea level.
Directions
From the Sunnbüel mountain station via the feeder trail to the cross-country skiing hut Spittelmatte.
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 basically out and about at your own risk! The trail association does not maintain its own rescue system and does not conduct a last piste inspection, as is usual in alpine ski areas. Please also observe the SOS information signs as well as the board of behavioral rules at the cross-country skiing center.
Equipment
Cap, gloves, sunglasses: reliable equipment is especially important on the trails. What to wear best? Ask our specialists in the many sports shops in the destination.
Tips
Whether using classic technique or skating: cross-country skiing is healthy and fun!
