So what's it like?
Kandersteg is situated at the head of the breathtaking Kander valley, formed thousands of years ago by the movement of glaciers. This traditional, friendly village is made up of pretty chalet style buildings set amongst sunny meadows, filled with alpine flowers. The Blüemlisalp mountain range guarantees fantastic views in all directions and the sound of waterfalls cascading down the cliffs of the 'U' shaped valley is more likely to be heard than the sound of any car engines. With over 215 miles of hiking trails to suit all walkers, this really is a hikers' paradise.
