Audio Guide of the Chuenisbärgli Ski Jump

You can get there easily via the lifts from Adelboden, specifically the Chuenisbärgli chairlift, which normally operates from 8:30 to 16:30 during the winter season. Out of season, the area is accessible for hiking, but I recommend checking the current lift status on the Adelboden-Lenk website.

Viewing the slope from the base is free, but to ski on it you will need a ski pass for the Adelboden-Lenk region, with prices varying by season. If you want to attend the famous World Cup event in January, you should buy tickets well in advance on the official Adelboden World Cup website.

If you are visiting as a tourist to admire the slope and the views, 1 to 2 hours is enough, including the lift ride. If you plan to ski the legendary run or do a summer hiking route, we recommend setting aside at least half a day to enjoy the experience without rushing.

It is considered the most difficult giant slalom course in the world and has hosted the FIS Ski World Cup since 1967. Its iconic final pitch, the Zielhang, has a gradient of up to 60%, making it a pilgrimage site for alpine skiing fans.

To experience the electric atmosphere of the races, the second week of January is unmissable, although it is very crowded. To ski it yourself or go hiking in peace with great views, sunny days in February and March or the summer months are ideal.

The finish area and the village of Adelboden are adapted, but access to the slope itself involves difficult mountain terrain. However, many of the cable cars in the region, such as the one to Sillerenbühl, are accessible; check specific details at Adelboden Tourism.

Do not miss the Engstligen Falls, the second highest in Switzerland, or a walk through the Choleren Gorge. It is also highly recommended to go up to Tschentenalp to enjoy the famous giant swing with panoramic mountain views.

If you are going to ski it, do so early in the morning when the snow has just been groomed, as the slope becomes icy and more difficult during the day. Also, wear shoes with very good grip if you visit the base in winter, since the ground around the finish area can be slippery.
