Winter hiking

Kandersteg offers in the winter many different hiking routes around the village or in the direction Oeschinensee, Blausee or even towards Gemmipass. The routes have different lengths but all are easy to manage from the difficulty - so, something for every taste!
The winter hiking trails are marked with pink signs while the yellow sign indicating the summer hiking trails. The hiking trails and cross-country trails are often parallel to each other.
