The Switzerland Traveler

Adelboden is an attractive and not over-populated resort at the southern end of Kanton Bern. It’s linked with Frütigen and is an attractive place for a family ski holiday.

In response to requests for more than just skiing, they’ve opened up 35km of snowshoe trails.

The sport is beginning to attract more and more people, maybe in response to the number of skiers, and the increasing speeds being seen on the slopes.

The routes have been designed with wildlife in mind, mainly to protect the animals, but you never know when you might come across a deer or a snow bunny. And later in the season, the Marmottes (Groundhogs?) are likely to make an appearance.

Snow shoes are available in most sport shops to rent or buy.
