  • Germany, Northern France or Northern Switzerland - follow motorway A2 Basel-Bern, motorway A6 Bern-Spiez, main road for Frutigen-Adelboden

After passing the main ‘Welcome to Adelboden’ sign, turn left to Our Chalet at Adelboden Oey - this is the main intersection just before the final ascent into the village and there is a sign for Our Chalet just after the large neon sign for the ski lifts.

Turn left again almost immediately (just after the petrol station) and drive up a steep hill. Follow the signposts, taking the right fork into Hohliebeweg and then the first left onto Our Chalet’s driveway.
Please note that free parking is available at Our Chalet, but the driveway is very narrow and unsuitable for some large vehicles. 

Most cars and small vans are fine, but large buses and coaches will not make it. If you are traveling in a large coach, please contact the office for details of where to park at .

Arrival Times

If possible, please try to arrive between 2pm and 5pm so that you do not disturb other guests. Please note that Our Chalet’s office is closed between 12 noon and 2pm.

Car travel advice

Winter
Please note that during the winter it is advisable to bring snow chains, and it is a good idea to practice using them before you arrive. Also, several mountain passes close during the winter so be sure to check when planning your itinerary.

Motorway Tax
If you are arriving from a neighboring country and plan to use the motorways, you are required to pay a motorway tax. A ‘vignette’ can be purchased at the border. More information on rules of the road and travel is available from the Swiss Touring Club at www.tcs.ch.
