Kandersteg railway station

Highlight • Rest Area

An important train station because this is the loading station for the motorail train through the Lötschberg tunnel. There is also a Wegcam here, which you can use to find out about the rush: kandersteg.ch/de/s/webcam-bahnhof-kandersteg.

View of Kandersteg

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you climb a few metres from the valley station of the Sunnbüelbahn, you will soon have a beautiful view of the Kandertal and the town of Kandersteg. A Swiss idyll straight out of a picture book.

Kandersteg village

Highlight • Settlement

Tranquil village that is easy to hike through (sometimes it's not up and down). There are places to stop and stay overnight as well as a beautiful church.
