Ski-in/ski-out

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.

Get to know the resort

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 ChuenisbΓ€rgli 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.
