Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

End-of-Season Adelboden/Kandersteg Touring
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I'm thinking of doing a short hut-to-hut trip near Interlaken and had Adelboden and Kandersteg recommended to me. It would be in late April: any thoughts? If anyone has been to any of the huts around there that would be handy info as well, thanks.

Local knowledge is required @eightbobnote, and I would suggest that you contact mountain guide Terry Ralph's. Terry lives in Leysin and he ski tours regularly through the area you are considering.
The problem this season for late April is the extremely high snowline. The 3 obvious huts are Wildhorn directly beyond Lenk.
Wildstrubel accessed by ski tour from Wildhorn.
Lämmerenhütte to the south edge of the Wildstrubel massif.
One should note that all of this terrain is glaciated and will require solid personal experience or the help of a guide. Nearer the time of your trip I would advocate a quick call to Terry.
I was in the Lämmerenhütte 3 weeks ago, it is a delightful place to visit, great food, great hospitality.

The above is great advice. Yes, the snowline is going to be an issue but you can get high quickly from Leukerbad and, judging from the Gemmipass webcam, the snow situation looks pretty healthy. Lots of options from the Lammerenhutte.

Great thanks both of you. @Rogerdodger, the approach from Kandersteg doesn't appear to be glaciated though?

You are quite correct, access from Sunnbüel (Kandersteg) is not glaciated.
Ski options are very limited until you ascend to the elevation of Lämmerenhütte.
The hut is at 2501m, ideally this should be regarded as the lower extent of the glaciers.
