Adelboden-Lenk
About the area
Adelboden-Lenk in the Bernese Oberland has 83 km of pistes, and just over half of it — 44 km, or 53% — is green or blue. That, plus 14 short easy runs sitting next to a lift base and a magic carpet for first turns, makes it a straightforward choice for beginners and families. There are 32 km of red runs for intermediates working their way up. Experts get less: only 7 km, 8% of the area, is black or freeride terrain, and the biggest vertical on a single run is 531 m.
Nineteen lifts serve the area, including five gondolas or cable cars, so small children can be loaded without a moving chair; there are also seven chairlifts and one magic carpet. Pistes run between 1,262 m and 2,193 m, with 31 km covered by snowmaking. The longest single descent measures 3,064 m.
