Walking
There are over 550km of hiking trails to suit all walkers. Gentle tracks run along the sunny valley floor for those wanting a leisurely stroll. Take the Oeschinen cable-car up to the Oeschinensee, a glistening blue lake, dramatically surrounded by jagged peaks. The Sunnbüel cable car takes a different direction up to more paths with access to the Daubensee and on to the Gemmipass for a challenging hike. The trails are well signposted and show walking times. Local walking guides can be arranged by the Tourist Office and a walking pass can be bought locally.
Active
Kandersteg has an open-air swimming pool, tennis courts, mini-golf and a sports centre. Take advantage of the Guest Card (FREE for all guests staying in the village) which offers discounts on most activities, local cable cars and entrance to the castle at Spiez and the Blue Lake nature reserve. Hire a bicycle and enjoy the many cycling trails or take the train further afield to one of Switzerland's historic cities. For those wanting a quieter pace, try fly fishing on the Oeschinensee.
