DESTINATION GUIDE ALLWelcome YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR A GREAT HOLIDAY SUMMER 2019 | ENGLISH Welcome to the destination Adelboden-Lenk-Kandersteg More light, more space, more air. With every mile you travel in the direction of the Bernese Oberland, it becomes more obvious what a huge difference the mountain summer makes. But this is only the beginning of your journey. Our destination is full of changes and contrasts – the mountain passes between the three valleys, the divide between natural and cultural landscapes, and people on the move or simply relaxing. For this reason, we have designed the latest Destination Guide to help you on your way. This com- pact brochure details everything going on here and shows you exactly where it’s brighter, wider and fresher. 02 Highlights 41 Children and Families 04 Top Summer Events 42 Worth Visiting 06 Good to Know 44 Wellness Returning home 10 Cable Cars 48 Gastronomy 12 Hiking Paradise 58 Regional Excursions 26 Summer Sports 60 How to get here 33 Indoor Activities 62 Contents A – Z 36 Adventure 2 HIGHLIGHTS HIGHLIGHTS 3 Highlights «ALPAUFZUG» ENGSTLIGENALP CHAMBER MUSIC Watch as 500 cattle climb the steep and Young musicians and well-known rocky path up to Engstligenalp at the end ensembles gather in Adelboden for the of June.
