2006 01 29 – Adelboden
29th January 2006
The baloon festival at Château-d’Oex was stil on this weekend so I was trying to avoid getting caught up in the traffic again. On Saturday I’d been to Villars which was not operating fully due to wind and ended up back home at La Berra for a few hours. So, Sunday we decided to go to Adelboden.
The slight downside with Adelboden is, by local standards, it’s relatively busy. Being one of the closest stations to Berne and the favoured destination by most people round that way then you can wait a few minutes for lifts sometimes. Fortunately, they operate a good single line on most lifts so you can get around quite quickly.
Some idea of how busy can be seen from this :
Or getting off one of the lifts:
One problem is that they’ve such a strong local accent and dialect I can’t understand a word they say
