The Wintertäli trail is located just below the mountain station in the valley of the same name. As a cross-country skier, you save yourself the descent and ascent from the Spittelmatte.

The actual loop in the Wintertäli itself is around 1.1 km long and has a difference in altitude of 25 m with a few short and crisp ascents/descents, suitable for ambitious cross-country skiers who want to hone their downhill and cornering technique or train conditions.

In combination with a Kandersteg regional cross-country ski pass, we offer a connection pass for the cable car for the 2023/24 winter season at an attractive CHF 80.00. In combination with a cross-country ski pass, we offer our cross-country skiers discounted prices for the return journey with the Kandersteg-Sunnbüel cable car. Available at the ticket office at the Sunnbüel valley station.

A changing room, lockers and showers are available at the mountain station.

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.
