If you take a closer look, you will see daredevil ibex jumping around. Before climbing the Bunderchrinde, take-away drinks can be bought in the alpine hut at Alpschelen (only from the beginning of July to the end of August).

Once at the top, you can see down into the valley towards Adelboden - the destination of this stage.

Approach

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

Public transport

Arrival at Kandersteg railway station

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

Parking

Kandersteg car park list

The destination has been decided, as has the parking space - this map helps drivers to quickly and easily find a suitable parking space in the Oberland municipality. Well then: engine off, hiking boots on!

Safety instructions

Even open hiking trails may still be partially covered in snow. Hiking is at your own risk: Tourismus Adelboden-Lenk-Kandersteg accepts no liability for the use of local routes.

Equipment

Sure-footed hikers with good trekking boots will feel at home on the partly exposed terrain of this red and white marked tour. With a bit of orientation, you can also reach one of our mountain huts for a rest.
