The terrain in Adelboden ski resort varies between the world-cup giant slalom run on the Chuenisbärgli, to a multitude of cross-country ski trails and even a freeride arena. However, this is not to say the ski resort should not tempt families or beginner skiers, as the skiing area is home to a good network of blue runs and nursery slopes which are sure to be uncrowded due to their separation from the main ski area via a gondola ride. All skiers will enjoy fantastic panoramic views of this charming alpine town from the slopes and excellent skiing.
