Gemmipass
The trail crosses the Gemmipass, a centuries-old saddle between the Daubenhorn and the Rinderhorn linking Canton Bern to the Valais, passing the photogenic Daubensee before opening onto panoramic views of the high Pennine Alps — Monte Rosa, the Matterhorn, the Weisshorn, the Bishorn, and Dent Blanche.

Engstligenalp - Engstligengrat

Engstligenalp Rundwanderweg
A flat, obstacle-free loop across a high plateau at 2000 m, passing babbling mountain streams, grazing cows, and cosy alpine huts — a landscape so steeped in *Älplertradition* that it was entered into the federal inventory of nationally significant cultural landscapes in 1996. The route is accessible to wheelchairs and pushchairs, circling back from the cable car's mountain station through wide alpine meadows framed by cascading waterfalls.

Üeschinenhütte - Engstligengrat
-
Unter dem Birg - Engstligenalp
A well-maintained mule track climbs through open terrain at the foot of the Bündihore toward the Engstligenalp, tracing the same route that cows, goats, and herdsmen have long taken on their alpine ascent. The roaring waters of the Engstligen Falls accompany the journey — the second-highest waterfalls in Switzerland, under cantonal nature protection since 1948.
-
Engstligenalp - Ammertepass
-
Unter dem Birg - Engstligenfall
The trail follows the Engstlige river past the Chälistein to the lower Engstligenfall, where the waterfall plunges dramatically down. Starting from the bus stop at "Chäli," the route passes through forest, by a fireplace, and returns via the Restaurant Bergbach and the valley station of the cable car.
-
Gemmipass Schwarenbach
From the dramatic Gemmi Pass, the route descends along the shore of the Daubensee, with the great panorama of the Rhone Valley and the Alps — dozens of well-known peaks — spread out behind you. The path ends at the Berghotel Schwarenbach, a mountain inn offering refreshments in season.

Ammertenhütte - Ammertenspitz
-
Lohnerhütte SAC
The route climbs from Bonderalp through the Leiternweg, a chain-secured ascent demanding sure-footedness and a head for heights, with sensational views over the village of Adelboden and its five valleys. Beyond the chains, the terrain opens into a partly rocky, exposed landscape — the famous Zürchertritt, named after the hut's first guard — leading to the Lohnerhütte SAC.
-
Gemmipass Schwarenbach
From the Gemmi cable car station at 2344 m, this circular route descends past the turquoise Daubensee (2207 m) to the Berghotel Schwarenbach (2060 m), set within a glacier landscape. The historic pass has been crossed since the 15th century, and the terrain shifts from rough, barren rock on the Gemmi side to colorful flower meadows further along the path.
-
Üeschinengrat - Schwarzgrätli
-
Hohliebe - Unter dem Birg
The route climbs steeply from Unter dem Birg (1399 m) through pastures and forests to the high point at Laueli (1660 m), a beautiful ridge walk above Adelboden. From there the path descends through the Hohliebe, passing several ravines before dropping toward the valley.
