    The challenging cross-country trail is suitable for every athletic skier. The 10 km trail is a classic for cross-country skiers who want to collect altitude in Kandersteg.

    The route starts right at the beginning with the "Wildi ascent" and continues through the Oeschi forest. After a rapid descent, you reach the main trail network again. Then the route leads across the village into the forest located to the west. This section goes right through the forest – guaranteed best views! Along the impressive rock face of the Allmenalp, the route leads into the rear part of the village and turns at the scout center. Further along the route you will soon reach the traditional Ruedihus (country inn) and then connect again immediately to the main trail network.

    Safety information

    Please note that you are basically traveling at your own risk! The trail association does not maintain its own rescue system and does not do final piste control as is common in alpine ski areas. Also observe the SOS information signs and the board of rules of conduct at the cross-country skiing center.

    Tips and suggestions

    You can find which trails are currently open in the snow sports report.
