As soon as guests breathe in the fresh alpine air and gaze at the snow-covered mountains, waterfalls and lakes, they leave everyday life behind them. The Adelboden-Lenk-Kandersteg holiday region acts as a year-round playground – from summer hikes in the UNESCO World Heritage Site to winter sports in one of the best ski areas in Switzerland.
