Getting there
To travel to Kandersteg, most people fly into Geneva Airport. It takes around 4 hours by train and 2,5 hours by car to reach Kandersteg. From Lenk you can take the train to continue your travels or take the train back to Kandersteg.
The route
Day 1 – Arrival in Kandersteg
Arrive, settle in, and enjoy the hotel spa before the adventure begins. Group briefing at 6 PM, welcome dinner at 7 PM. Rest well — tomorrow we hit the trail.
Day 2 – Oeschinensee: the perfect start
We start with one of the most beautiful lakes in the Alps — turquoise water, mountain backdrop, UNESCO World Heritage site. A stunning introduction to what’s ahead. Back at the hotel by late afternoon for spa time and dinner.
8 km · 450 m up & down · ±3h
Day 3 – Over the pass to Adelboden
A bigger day. We climb to the Bunderchrinde Pass with views over the Lohner range, then descend into the charming village of Adelboden. A luxurious spa hotel waiting at the end.
12 km · 1,251 m up & down · ±7h
Day 4 – Through the Wildstrubel to Lenk
The most dramatic day. We cross the Wildstrubel massif via the Bummerenpass — peaks, silence, and mountain hiking at its best. We end the evening with a celebratory dinner at the most beautiful hotel of the trip.
10 km · 838 m up, 110 m down · ±7h
Day 5 – A relaxed finish
A gentle final morning. We follow a waterfall to its hidden source — the perfect place for a slow picnic. Back in Lenk, goodbyes over coffee. Spa open until 3 PM.
11 km · 200 m up & down · ±3h
