Adelboden Reviews
Wide variety of runs with a really easy blue at the top, which is great for warming up or just having an easy time. The runs are very varied, some are graded red, with black bits! Plenty of mountain restaurants. Good ski hire shop at the bottom of the gondola station and lockers too. Lift pass covers a wide area. Adelboden as a village is great, supermarket, lovely shops, museum, a proper alpine town. It is easy to do an independent trip here via train and bus, very efficient. There is a good taxi service in the village too. Plenty of walks and things to do off the slopes.

Great resort and good skiing. We stayed in Boden where the piste was well looked after and we could ski back to the lift station. We are looking forward to next year.
