Great views of the Engstligen valley in both directions: to the southwest towards Adelboden and the Engstligen waterfalls with the striking Wildstrubel and glacier behind it, or to the Loner on the left (southeast); to the northeast towards Frutigen with several mountain peaks as far as the Niesen.

June 3, 2025,Adelboden Pochtenkessel & Cholereschlucht

This short circular hike is just the thing. Whether you're looking to stretch your legs after a long drive, or if you're on vacation in the area and are having a less-than-perfect day, the circular route can be completed in an hour and features a stunning gorge.

The most beautiful gorge in Switzerland, the circular path through the gorge can only be accessed from below - please put some money in the cash box, as maintenance costs 20,000 francs per year. You should not be afraid of heights. Be sure to make a detour to the Trummer family's wood carving workshop.

The 100 meter long Choleren Gorge is small but mighty. Well-developed bridges and stairs lead up the gorge. The gorge can be crossed in about 15 minutes, it is a one-lane walk from bottom to top.

The Choleren Gorge near Adelboden is a short but impressive natural spot in the Bernese Oberland 🤩. A well-constructed walkway leads deep into the narrow, water-carved gorge – wooden walkways, steps, and small bridges bring you right up close to the rushing water 💦.
