Adelboden is shaped by its seasons: in winter the slopes dominate, in summer the hiking trails and mountain bike routes take over. The Engstligen Falls are the single most worthwhile sight in either season — a dramatic double waterfall dropping off the high plateau above the valley. The Chuenisbärgli ski runs are where the World Cup slalom is contested each January, and experienced skiers will want to make at least one run on the course. In summer, the chairlift to the Hahnenmoos pass opens a high-altitude plateau ideal for walks without serious climbing.
