With scenery on the grandest scale, and quiet, unspoiled villages, the Bernese Oberland possesses unique qualities that leave visitors feeling completely refreshed. The area is ranked in Switzerland’s top three for its cross-country skiing offering a total of 52 kilometers of trails for skiers of all levels, perfect for beginners, improvers and intermediates. The region’s high Kander Valley offers trails from the door or on the plateaux above. There’s great opportunities for some fun downhill pistes, with more challenging downhill skiing available at Lauchernalp, where runs are up to 3100m - easily access by rail or bus from the village. A wide range of other winter activities including winter walking and snowshoeing are also available, if a gentle horse drawn sleigh ride through the village is your thing, these can be arranged easily with the hotel or a more energetic toboggan ride, Ice-rink, snowshoe excursion or game of curling - it’s the perfect base!
Nestling in the broad Kander Valley and surrounded by dramatic mountains, Kandersteg is a picture-book village with a pleasantly bustling centre where you will find a variety of shops, banks and cafés within an easy stroll of the centrally located 3* Belle Epoque Hotel Victoria. Few of our featured winter hotels have such a wide appeal, and it’s one of those places where you can easily spend an entire week without once donning skis if you don’t want to. The hotel offers an outstanding level of hospitality and it’s the English-speaking owners, Casi and Mimi Platzer and their team that provide the personal service that makes you feel very welcome in the hotel.
The hotel boasts a beautiful swimming pool and sauna - perfect to relax after those long, cold, busy days. A lounge bar serving delicious hot chocolate and home-made cakes, a reading room, sun room and kindergarten - this hotel really does have something for all the family.
Kandersteg has its very own railway station with easy access from Zurich, a - a graceful, lakeside city to explore! With easy access from the UK, Zurich makes a wonderful add-on to this holiday! www.inntravel.co.uk/holidays/...
