Guides and Scouts

Our Chalet welcomes everyone - Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, leaders, families, adults, children, members and non-members, men, women, boys and girls!

Bookings can be made for any period of time during the year, except for the Swiss Experience sessions, when we ask that everyone arrives and departs on the same days.

Apart from the Swiss Experience sessions, we have an ‘open house’ in which everyone is welcome for as long as you want to stay.

Each season, we also run a few promotional weeks, when special activities may be organized that are more suitable for certain ages or types of group. These are coded as follows:

SUMMER AND WINTER SEASONS

Our Chalet operates in two distinct seasons because of the weather and therefore the opportunities for outdoor activities. We are normally closed in between seasons when most of the lifts and hotels/restaurants in Adelboden are also closed, but if you would like to make a group booking for this time, please contact reception.
