Adelboden-Lenk

Adelboden-Lenk
Adelboden-Lenk is a ski and bike region in the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland, spanning the municipalities of Adelboden, Lenk and Frutigen. The ski area comprises six sub-areas – the main Adelboden-Lenk area, Elsigen-Metsch, Betelberg, Engstligenalp, Silleren-Chuenisbärgli and Tschentenalp – with almost 200 kilometres of pistes and more than 60 lifts and cable cars. The region hosts the Audi FIS Ski World Cup at Chuenisbärgli and, in winter, also offers snowparks, funslopes, sledging runs and cross-country trails.

Families and Kids

Adelboden-Lenk is very family-oriented: the region has a children's adventure park in Elsigen-Metsch, the Stoss Children's World at Betelberg, the Vogellisi fun piste with eight elements between Hahnenmoos and Geils, and Globi's Fun Trail and racecourse on Engstligenalp. Children's ski schools operate in the sub-areas, and sledging is possible in the Tschenten Sledding Park, on VogellisiBerg, on Betelberg and in Elsigen-Metsch.

Food and drinks

The region has a dense network of mountain restaurants, ski huts and bars across its six sub-areas, from the panorama restaurant Sillerenbühl and the SchlemmerChalet on the Hahnenmoospass to the Berghotel Engstligenalp with its Fondue-Iglu and Raclettehütte. Many rustic piste bars and après-ski spots such as Ranger's Treff, Gran Masta Bar and Hul's Sagibar round off the offering. The Mountain Restaurant Tschentenalp serves regional specialities with a panoramic terrace and hosts brunch on selected Sundays.

Admission fees

Ski passes in Adelboden-Lenk are priced dynamically: an algorithm sets the price based on season phase, day of the week, booking date, demand and, from a certain point onwards, the weather forecast, so booking early secures the cheapest rate. Day and multi-day tickets are valid across the whole region including Frutigen, and the AlpsPass season pass also covers the Aletsch Arena, Engelberg-Titlis and the Jungfrau Ski Region. Holders of a GA Travelcard or Half-Fare Card receive a 50% discount on single rides and selected day passes, and children with a Junior or Children's Co-Travelcard travel free on selected day tickets.

FAQ

  • How does the dynamic pricing for ski passes work in Adelboden-Lenk?
    Ski pass prices are calculated by an algorithm based on season phase, day of the week, booking date, current demand and, from a certain point onwards, the weather forecast. The earlier you book, the cheaper the price, and the price shown is always the cheapest and will not go down. Half-day to 14-day passes, sledging passes for Betelberg, Tschenten and Elsigen, and the 5-in-7 and 10-in-14 day passes are priced dynamically; season passes, group and school rates, single rides and winter hiking passes are not.
  • What does the AlpsPass include?
    The AlpsPass is a seasonal winter pass that combines Adelboden-Lenk, the Aletsch Arena, Engelberg-Titlis and the Jungfrau Ski Region. To celebrate its launch, skiers also receive 15 free ski days in winter 2025/26 at Davos Klosters, Arosa Lenzerheide, LAAX, Verbier – 4 Vallées and Portes du Soleil.
  • Is there a special offer for families on Saturdays?
    Yes. Under the motto "Kids Free", every Saturday for each adult who buys a one-day ski pass, two children aged 6 to 15 ski for free – whether with parents, godparents or grandparents.
  • Can I load my ski pass onto a SwissPass card?
    Yes, day and multi-day tickets can be loaded onto a SKIDATA keycard or a SwissPass card; only the physical SwissPass card works, not SwissPass Mobile. Season tickets and annual passes can only be loaded onto SKIDATA keycards. If you have neither, choose the "pick-up" option when booking online and collect your pass at a ticket office or ticket machine.
  • What happens if I cannot use my ski pass because of weather or illness?
    Passes generally cannot be cancelled or exchanged. Exceptions apply in the event of illness, accident or death with a medical certificate. The pass insurance included in the price covers certain weather conditions such as storm, avalanche danger or heavy snowfall that reduces operating lifts to fewer than three. If operations are completely suspended before noon for weather, force majeure or safety reasons, half of the ski pass price is refunded.
  • Which ski schools and ski hire options are available in the region?
    The region has several ski and snowboard schools, including the Ski & Snowboard School Adelboden (founded 1933), the Adelboden Snowboard School, the Swiss Ski and Snowboard School Lenk, the Adrenalin Ski and Snowboard School Lenk and the Swiss Ski and Snowboard School Frutigen. They teach beginners, returners and advanced skiers, with private lessons, small groups and guided tours. Skis, snowboards, helmets and boots can be hired from numerous rental stations in Adelboden, Lenk and Frutigen.
