Although it hosts a formidable World Cup race each January, much of the terrain at Adelboden’s four ski areas and across the hill at the linked resort of Lenk, is ideal for intermediates.

AdvancedPros and cons
-
Great intermediate terrain in linked area with Lenk
-
Fantastic scenery throughout
-
Some of the best winter walking and cross country trails in Switzerland
-
Early beginners stuck on small slopes in town
-
Limited challenges for experts without fresh snow
-
Low altitude means snow can suffer (but lots of snowmaking)
On the Slopes
The main access gondola drops skiers and riders at the summit of Sillerenbühl, from which runs fan out in all directions. Most of these are wide reds, several of which drop down over into the Lenk side of the hill – where wide blues are very much the order of the day. Tougher challenges are available on the Chuenisbärgli, the home of the World Cup track, and up off the Luegli chairlift – which is definitely the place to head to after fresh snowfall.
There are three other small ski areas in the Adelboden Valley, all of which offer extra variety and are great places to explore during your stay.
Elsigenalp is home to some tough challenges and a host of freestyle terrain, TschentenAlp has its own small cluster of runs and the stunning Engstligenalp has the best beginner zone and a small collection of snowsure, steeper runs served by four drags.
In the Resort
The town of Adelboden is rather sprawling, taking up much of the southeast facing slopes beneath the TschentenAlp gondola. Traditional Swiss hotels and chalets make up much of the available accommodation and unlike some other Swiss resorts, Adelboden is slightly more affordable. Base yourself in the centre of town for the liveliest atmosphere, just be aware that there is a walk to get to the main access gondola at Oey – this is also where the resort run ends up to finish the day.
Away from the slopes and Adelboden is an extremely attractive proposition. The comprehensive network of prepared winter walking trails is hard to rival in this part of the Alps, Engstligenalp is home to one of Switzerland’s most picturesque cross country trails and TschentenAlp is a tobogganer’s paradise.

Switzerland
Updated 02/05
Warm weather opens the weekend across Switzerland, with the freezing line sitting high at close to or above 4,000m throughout. Things change as the weekend continues, with temperatures cooling as the freezing line comes down to as low as 1,500m.
Cloud cover dominates, and with it precipitation; this will fall as rain initially, but will turn to snow as temperatures fall. Around 12cm will fall in steady flurries throughout the weekend and into the new week, falling almost entirely on higher ground as the freezing line remains above 2,000m during this period.
High pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions especially across the west of the region.
Thus concludes our snow overviews for this season. Thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
