Who says the Kandersteg valley floor has little to offer trail runners? First, this route follows the magnificent river landscape of the Kander. Second, there are cultural sights of village life along the way, such as the Scout Center or the Buddhist monastery. Third, this trail gains altitude towards the end – the last meters thus provide an impressive panorama close to the center.

Author’s recommendation

This trail, with moderate distance and the final ascent, is an ideal preparation for the next performance levels.

Safety information

The more extreme the conditions, the more important the equipment. Longer tours in the mountains require, for example, weatherproof clothing and a small running backpack with supplies.

Roadbook

Following the train tracks: From Kandersteg station, you first follow the tracks across the River Kander and reach the ‘Ruedihus’ via the path alongside the ‘Hubbeln’. From there, trail runners continue along the village road towards ‘Doldenhorn’ and then take the path to the Kandersteg Scout Centre. Via Moos-Steg, the route turns back towards the banks of the Kander and follows the course of the river until just before Bütschels. There, you turn left towards the Dhammapla Buddhist monastery before tackling the ascent to Höh. The Panorama Trail then takes you back down to the station.
