Thanks to its unique topography and altitude, Engstligenalp is guaranteed snow from December to the beginning of May. This means that cross-country skiing is possible for quite a while longer than in the valley.
Whether it’s a leisurely round for the whole family or a high-altitude workout for the athletically active – both are possible on Engstligenalp. At 2000 meters above sea level, you will find a total of 8 kilometers of perfectly groomed trails.
Depending on how long you want to use the Lägerloipe and the Groppiloipe, the day ticket or the weekly ticket is the best choice. There is also a season pass for the Adelboden region.

The cross-country ski trails on the Engstligenalp lead across the high plateau amidst the breathtaking mountain panorama. The topography is flat and the area is therefore also ideal for beginners or more leisurely cross-country skiers.
The Adelboden ski school offers professional lessons for all age groups and levels. Book your personal learning experience now and master the trails with ease.
Do you lack the right equipment to use the trails? No problem!
The rental and test center, operated by Hari Sport Adelboden, has a wide range of cross-country skiing equipment and is located directly at the top station of the cable car.
You can pick up your equipment directly on the mountain and return it there after use.
Cross-country skiing equipment on the Engstligenalp can be reserved online at least 2 days in advance. Reservations by telephone are not possible.
When the sun slowly rises over the mountains, a very special experience awaits you on Engstligenalp: our Early Bird cable car ride at 07.00 a.m. takes you up to the high plateau before everyone else at weekends from the end of February to the beginning of May for an additional CHF 20 (on top of the normal ticket) – straight into the untouched winter wonderland.
Why is it worth getting up early?
Mirror-smooth trails – perfectly groomed and almost deserted
Magical morning atmosphere – cross-country skiing in complete tranquillity, surrounded by fresh mountain air
Exclusive moment – The Engstligenalp is (almost) all yours

The decision whether the Early Bird trips will take place will be communicated on the website every Wednesday. The ski lifts start operating as usual at 8.30 am.
1. consideration: Be considerate of less experienced riders. Do not endanger or hinder anyone.
2. signaling and running direction: Observe signals and instructions. Always run in the direction indicated.
3. choice of lane: clean entry and exit protects the lane. Stick to right-hand traffic. In double or multiple lanes, the slow runner runs on the right.
4. overtaking: In single lanes, overtake to the left of the lane. In dual lanes, use the left lane for overtaking.
5. oncoming traffic: swerve to the right in oncoming traffic (runner in the same lane).
6. poles: Keep your poles close to your body when overtaking, being overtaken and crossing and do not endanger anyone.
7. speed: On downhill sections, adjust your speed to the terrain, visibility and your ability.
8. keep the running lane clear: take a breather and discuss next to the running lane. After a fall, get to safety next to the track.
9. assistance: You are obliged to provide assistance in the event of accidents on the running track. Everyone involved, witnesses, whether responsible or not, must provide their personal details.
10. waste: Cross-country skiers do not leave any waste in the trail or in the terrain.
