Allows the integration of outdooractive functionallity. By allowing this option, you accept the privacy agreement with outdooractive.
There is where the mountain stream does what it wants and there is space for alpine fauna and flora. Just above Frutigen, a large floodplain conservation area begins at Gand. If you choose this particular Silva trail, you will quickly be rewarded by unspoilt nature on the banks of the River Engstlige. Crossings and bridges take you close to the wild side of the water, but it's not all about looking down. From Bodmen, on the return trail, runners are treated to views of the imposing Niesen mountain chain and the picturesque landscape of Reinisch.
Public Transport
The train stops here twice an hour and this is the starting point for many tours. 45 minutes from the Swiss capital of Berne, this town is a regional transportation hub.
Parking
Find the best places to park in Adelboden. There's nothing in your way now, so engine off and trail shoes on!
Directions
Jump off the train and you're at the starting point. Leaving Frutigen Railway Station, the trail leads along the River Enstlige via Künzisteg to the Gand floodplain conservation area. After about 20 minutes, a granite bridge encased in wood comes into view. A short climb brings you up to Bodmen, where trail runners can enjoy the view. Once you have regained your strength, the trail turns again in Reinisch via Büela towards Frutigen.
