The first lifts in Adelboden can open as early as November, but the main skiing season really gets going in December. January is the best month for frequent snowfalls, and also when the Ski World Cup arrives in town. Watch the pros as they hurtle down the Chuenisbärgli slalom course at lightning speeds!
Or, if you fancy something more relaxed, the slopes empty out at the tail end of the season which is perfect for making first tracks on dawn-fresh corduroy - take it from us, the early alarm call is always worth it.
