ARRIVING BY CAR OR COACH
The full address for Our Chalet is Hohliebeweg 1, 3715 Adelboden. Be careful when using sat nav/GPS to select the correct address. There are many chalets in Adelboden!
Directions from entering Adelboden
As you enter Adelboden on the main road from Frutigen you will come to a small roundabout/circle/rotary with a bakery on the left. Take the third exit (left turn) here.
Turn left again almost immediately (just after the petrol station) then drive up a steep hill. After a sharp right-hand corner there is short flat section before the road forks. Take the right hand fork onto Hohliebeweg. Our Chalet is on the left just around the first corner. Important do not take the fork if you are driving a coach/full size bus (see below)!
Parking
Parking at Our Chalet is very limited and cannot be reserved in advance. There is no charge for parking at Our Chalet.
Road conditions and large vehicles
Our Chalet is located on a steep and narrow mountain road. Our Chalet’s driveway is steep and narrow with sharp corners.
Coaches/full size buses cannot reach Our Chalet.
In summer most coach drivers are able to drop off at the bottom of Hohliebeweg (the fork in the road) from where it is a 5-10 uphill minute walk to Our Chalet. In winter coaches cannot turn around at Hohliebeweg and must drop off at the bottom of Bonderlnstrasse, from where it is a 20-30 minute uphill walk to Our Chalet. Luggage transfer can be arranged for arrivals during office hours (9am-6pm) by contacting us at least 48 hours in advance.
In winter months roads may be impassable for any vehicles without four-wheel drive.
We advise all guests traveling to us in winter to have four-wheel drive and winter tyres and to carry snow chains.
CAR TRAVEL TIPS
Motorway Tax
If you are arriving from a neighbouring 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. Further information on road rules and travel is available from Swiss Touring Club.
Winter
During 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 before your trip.
Several mountain passes close during the winter due heavy snow and avalanche risk. Check current conditions of roads immediately before you depart.
