 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello - First post but been lurking for a while enjoying the banter. Am going to Adelboden for the half term week. I've been once before but that was as a complete beginner so didn't get much further than the nursery slope at Geils. Will be doing mainly blue runs (fairly slowly still). Are there any particular runs that people recommend? Is it worth going down to Lenk and sking the area on the other side? Are the other separate areas worth a day or is it best to stay above Adelboden? Runs that have reds & blues starting and ending at the same point would be good as the kids will want more excitement than me.
Thanks
PS - Have searched the forum but not found that much on Adelboden.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

We were in Adelboden a few years ago, and if I remember correctly Lenk had some great wide blue runs - worth it to go there a day.
There is another area at Enstligenalp where we had a great days skiing, all on top of mountain in one bowl.
Adelboden is a great area and we really loved it. enjoy!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We went last year. It's a great place. Lenk is well worth the trip over if you're a blue runner. The link bus runs like clockwork from each gondola station. Have fun!

Hi dmac9
I'm pretty new to the site too but spent a lot of time in Adelboden.
The best blue cruisers are Hanenmoos to Buhlberg and Metsch. If youre skiing to Lenk and stayin in Adelboden then you need to get to Metsch for the gondola down to Rothenbach to get the bus RWDLYN mentions. Lenk blues are a thing of beauty, point the skis straight downhill top to bottom.
The red (55) from Sillerenbuhl round past Abei down to Bodem is excellent, go early enough but just take it easy on the steep hill in the middle. This is also the only real way to ski back to Oey car parks. Avoid the Weltcup if not confident but there is a really good twisty red from Chuenisbargli to Berglager through trees to the teepee bar. Where I will be found often as from next Friday, great wurst on a BBQ on fine days.
There's plenty to do just watch the blues from Gelis down to Berglager. Lots of walking. Avoid Lavey and Luegli as the more difficult parts of the terrain.
Elsigenalp is a small drive but is best avoided to ski the piste (T bar hell) but worth going over for the quite frankly insane sledge run and good freeriding. Passes work for all the local areas, also Kandersteg.
Hope you like the area as much as we do. Have a great trip. I can't wait.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Hello, been searching for info regarding ski-in/out accomodation in Adelboden/Lenk area - anybody know a hotel/appartment that would be ski-in/out?

I'm going at new year for a few days, so if anyone can give any more up to date advice for both on and off the slopes it would be greatly appreciated.
I can ski down any piste and fairly gentle off-piste....although not expecting much of the latter at the moment (nor the former sadly either given current conditions)
