Via ferrata Ch\u00e4ligang<\/h1>\n
\n

Sporty challenges, unique rock formations and an impressive view – that’s what awaits you on the via ferrata Ch\u00e4ligang. The starting point is the valley station of the Engstligenalp AG mountain railroads. From there, it’s a 20-minute walk. Only then begins the entrance to the actual alpine via ferrata. Along the Ch\u00e4ligang, secured by a rope, you head towards the summit. But beware: Climb at your own risk!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n \n

Do not get distracted!<\/h2>\n

The way is simple. Individual passages, however, require great concentration from the climber – the Engstligen Falls, as constant companions, like to draw the eye to themselves. However, a vantage point directly above the waterfall offers the opportunity to observe the thundering force of nature in peace and to experience nature with all your senses. You will also enjoy the view of the Engstli valley and the village of Adelboden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \n \n \n \n \n

Need a break?<\/h2>\n

Once you reach the top, you can stop off at the mountain hotel restaurant or the raclette hut and soak up the impressions of the Ch\u00e4ligang via ferrata with a refreshment.<\/p>\n

By the way, in July and August the raclette hut is open on Friday and Saturday evenings* and the cable car also leaves for the valley at 9.00 pm. Why not take in the evening atmosphere on the via ferrata and then treat yourself to a delicious raclette and a glass of wine? If you have hired climbing equipment from us, you can hand it in at the valley station after the descent at 9.00 pm. <\/p>\n

Rent climbing equipment and benefit<\/h2>\n

Did you know that you can also rent climbing equipment at the valley station of the Engstligenalp AG mountain railroads? If you rent the climbing equipment, you also benefit from an attractive combined price for the return trip with the cable car.<\/p>\n

Boulder course<\/h2>\n

Engstligenalp is also a large and extremely scenic summer bouldering area. Unique is the possibility of bouldering in the course. Some of the courses are also ideal to walk with the whole family, because they are located on a flat flowery meadow, crossed by small streams – a true paradise for children! The course around the L\u00e4gerstein for bouldering near Adelboden is located on the circular hiking trail that is suitable for strollers and can therefore be reached even with the smallest ones. The two courses at Dossenseeli, on the other hand, can only be reached by a longer hike.<\/p>\n

Bouldering courses can be booked via Alpinschule Adelboden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
