ABOUT
KANDERSTEG |
| |
|
 Long
a centre for mountaineering, the picturesque, chalet-strewn village
of Kandersteg was for centuries the trailhead for travellers
crossing the high mountain passes into Canton Valais. In 1912,
though, Kandersteg was changed forever by the completion of the
Lötschbergtunnel (see below) just south of the village, a crucially
important rail link between northern and southern Europe – the only
one between Geneva and the Gotthard – which created a through route
from Bern to Milan. Although the small valley road into the village
can get heavy with trans-Alpine traffic, most people are heading for
the car-train terminus, situated on the outskirts; once you arrive
in Kandersteg itself, all is tranquil.
The main reason to visit Kandersteg
is to explore the surrounding area – attractions are all rural and
scenic. Kandersteg is also one of the best places in Switzerland to
learn how to ski: beginners can test out their snowplough techniques
on the easiest and least daunting of slopes, with other beginners
all around and not a trace of big-resort swagger. The village itself
is strung out along the valley floor for several kilometres, loomed
over by the massive bulk of the Doldenhorn to the southeast and the
First massif to the northwest. Prime hiking and recreation spot
above the village is the dramatically crag-ringed Oeschinensee, a
small lake accessed by a chairlift from the eastern edge of the
village. From the top station, it’s a twenty-minute stroll to the
lake itself, warm and glittering in summer and iced over for
cross-country skiing in winter. A handful of trails fan out around
the area, dotted with mountain refuges (the tourist office in
Kandersteg has a complete list, with hiking routes), and the walk
back down to Kandersteg is only about an hour. Another lift on the
opposite side of the valley accesses the Allmenalp. |
