Ski areas
More pistes, more fun parks, more lifts – and, above all, more fun! Since the winter season 2017/2018 the ski areas of Adelboden-Lenk, Gstaad, Jungfrau Ski Region and Meiringen-Hasliberg are partnering to offer the Top4 Ski Pass. Gentle slopes, steep descents, freestyle and fun parks, or endless fresh tracks through the powder – the partnership between the four largest ski areas in the Bernese Oberland offers skiers and snowboarders young and old, beginners and advanced, everything the heart of a winter sports enthusiast could desire.
The Adelboden-Lenk ski area offers both beginners and advanced skiers and boarders 200 km of pure fun on the piste – and world-class quality with every turn. The Vogellisi slope and the Funslope Bühlberg guarantee action and fun, as well as three different ski cross parks, two ski video sections and the sledging park offer variety, action and fun. And freestyle fanatics can get that adrenaline kick they crave in the popular Gran Masta Fun Park at Hahnenmoos with all its numerous jumps and rails. Non-skiers are also spoilt for choice: 190 km of winter hiking trails, 10 sledging runs and 118 km of cross-country ski trails (valid cross-country trail pass required).

It’s not just about the perfectly pre-pared ski runs – the region is also criss-crossed by an array of sledding routes and picture-perfect winter hiking trails. Myriad mountain inns and restaurants within the ski area promise to tickle your taste buds. They include the Wasserngrat mountain inn, the Pasatiempo bar and the Eggli mountain restaurant, which is reopening this winter. Please note that the Top4 Ski Pass is not valid for Glacier 3000; an additional ski pass must be purchased for this.
