Book Accommodation in Adelboden
Adelboden
Adelboden is a charming ski resort in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland with an abundance of traditional Swiss chalets with red and green shuttered windows and up to 210 km of family-friendly skiing and boarding.
Hidden away at the far end of the Englstligen valley, Adelboden is a picturesque Alpine village with 3,600 local inhabitants and over 18,000 guest beds for snow sports in winter and hiking and biking in summer. The fourth most visited ski resort in Switzerland after Zermatt, Davos-Klosters and St Moritz, Adelboden’s guests come mostly from Switzerland (63%) but the numbers coming from other countries, mainly Germany (16%), Benelux (10%) and the UK (5%), are increasing.
The main ski area in Adelboden is Sillerenbuhl-Hahnenmoos-Metsch, which offers a wide range of slopes for intermediates and beginners as well as a good selection of mountain restaurants. Four smaller satellite ski areas nearby are covered by the same Adelboden-Lenk lift pass, but not connected to the main ski area.
Most of the skiing in Adelboden-Lenk is between 1,500m and 2,200m and best for intermediates and beginners. While none of the ski areas are very high, there’s good piste skiing on north and south-facing slopes as well as some good off-piste opportunities including ski touring at higher altitude.
Ski & Snowboard Hire in Adelboden
There is a choice of ski rental shops in the resort, but prices are quite high if you simply walk into the nearest shop when you arrive, and you may find that the equipment you want has already been hired out. Some hotels and tour operators will recommend shops, but they rarely offer the best value, even if they offer a small discount.
ALPINRESORTS.com works with several shops in and around the resort and can get you discounts of up to 50% if you book online in advance.
