Upper Engstligen Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

The upper waterfall of the Engstligen Falls is located directly on the hiking trail from the valley station to the mountain station of the Engstligenalp cable car. It can also be visited from above with a short detour. It is very beautiful, cool and humid in its vicinity. 👌🏻😊

Ridge Above Tällisee

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Adelboden ridge above Tällisee is covered in scree that gives the impression of a sparse moon. You will certainly have a breathtaking view of the turquoise waters of the lake, the surrounding alpine landscapes and the rugged peaks of the Chindbettihore and the Engstigengrat.

Tschingellochtighorn

Highlight (Segment) • Summit

The Tschingellochtighorn, probably the most rustic peak far and wide.

"Tschingel" means something like "rock bands", "holey" indicates "quite a lot" and the horn stands for the summit.
I love this mountain and its name ;-)

Artelebach Waterfall and Riverbed

Highlight • River

Here the Artelebach is crossed. It is impressive to see how the water masses change depending on the season. While only a trickle flows in late summer, the high, washed-out banks testify to the power of the meltwater in spring.

August 25, 2022,🇨🇭 Rundwanderung von Engstligenalp via Engstligengrat zum Chindbettipass und via Dossenseeli zurück

A tour in a fantastic landscape. Mountains, lakes, scree, green meadows, the round is very varied. We had actually planned to descend from the Engstligengrat to the Tällisee and climb back up to the Chindbetti Pass. Since we were only at the Engstligengrat at 1 p.m. and the last gondola left at 5:10 p.m., we feared that it could be …

Fantastically beautiful T3 hike in the Adelboden region. Attention! Make sure to take poles with you on the descent. Reason: Steep descent in the upper part with "ghüdrige Stiinä drind". The rest is great

Our beautiful circular hike starts on the largest plateau in the western Swiss Alps. This circular hike in the Bernese Oberland is unforgettable and impressively beautiful. However, in addition to surefootedness, it also requires stamina and concentration. From the Engstligenalp mountain station (1962m above sea level) there is a steady ascent over the Ärtelegrat to high below the Tschingellochtighore over …

August 9, 2025,🏔️ Engstligenalp – Tschingellochtighore – Chindbettipass

An alpine dream tour with pure panoramas! From Engstligenalp (1,962 m), the trail first takes you comfortably across the plateau, then becomes increasingly steeper towards Tschingellochtighore (2,735 m) – the iconic rock tower above Lake Tällisee. The route there requires surefootedness and a short scramble (T2), but is rewarded with magnificent views of Wildstrubel, Adelboden, Lenk, and the Valais. Descend …
