Getting there

Planes

You can reach Adelboden from all of Switzerland’s major airports – Geneva | Zurich | Bern and Basel – within one to three hours (Bern’s the closest). Unless you hire a car or arrange transfers | you’ll be looking at a one-to-three hour train journey to Frutigen and then a bus trip through the mountain pass to the town.

Trains

The nearest station to Adelboden is half an hour away in the town of Frutigen – it’s on a direct line to Spiez, but the efficiency of Swiss public transport means that making rail connections to anywhere else in the country is a breeze. There’s a regular bus to Adelboden that meets all incoming trains.

Automobiles

There’s no car rental service in Adelboden itself | but major outlets such as Hertz and Avis have branches at the four airports | and the roads around the region are fast | safe and efficient – Swiss motorway tax will be included in the hire price. The town itself is readily traversed on foot | although you may find a car useful if you intend to explore further afield.
