Adelboden is a classic chalet village strung along a sunny ridge; some hotels sit by the lifts at Oey and Boden, most are a short walk or ski-bus from the slopes.
Adelboden strings classic Bernese chalets along a sunny ridge and links with neighbouring Lenk for a 210 km domain of mostly intermediate, beautifully scenic piste. Every January the world's best racers descend on the brutally steep Chuenisbärgli for one of the loudest giant slaloms on the World Cup tour. Away from race weekend it is calm, family-friendly and gloriously traditional, with grand views toward the Wildstrubel.
