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 limited parking is available on site at Our Chalet. The local roads and driveway is very steep, narrow and windy and unsuitable for most large vehicles.

If you are traveling in a large vehicle/coach, please contact the Our Chalet office for information about alternative parking arrangements.

Car travel tips

  • 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 entering Switzerland. More information on rules of the road and travel is available from the Swiss Touring Club.

  • Winter

Please note that during the winter it is advisable to have winter tyres on your vehicle and essential to carry snow chains. It is a good idea to practice fitting them to your tyres them before you arrive.

Several mountain passes close during the winter due to snow levels, so please check what roads are open when you plan your driving route.
