Our charming Weidhüsli is nestled at the very end of the Engstligtal valley, in the Gilbach hamlet of Adelboden, at an altitude of 1500 meters above sea level. Locals affectionately (and humorously) refer to Gilbach as “The Valley of Howling Winds,” a nickname that truly comes to life when the autumn Föhn wind powerfully sweeps through the fir trees. The Gilbachtäli is a small, idyllic valley, slightly set apart from Adelboden, offering breathtaking views of the Fitzer, the Gilbach residents' beloved local mountain.

A Weidhaus is similar to an Alpine hut, but historically served as an intermediate station before livestock ascended to the higher Alpine pastures. For a long time, cattle would still occupy the stable in spring and autumn. For the past few years, however, this space has been home to shaggy goats during the summer months.

This charming old alpine hut features a traditional wood-fired stove for cooking, and a cozy Swedish-style fireplace in the living room to keep you wonderfully warm.

Restaurant Des Alpes is just a 5-minute walk from the car park. You'll find various shops in the village, a pleasant 40-minute stroll away, a 15-minute bike ride, or a quick 5-minute trip by bus or car.

Depending on who's out and about, you might spot an ermine, fox, field hare (yes, foxes and hares truly bid each other goodnight here!), a badger, or, depending on the season and with a bit of luck, even a bearded vulture. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the Fitzer mountain.

Our 'Weidhüsli' is nestled at the very end of the Engstligen Valley in the Gilbach district of Adelboden, at an altitude of 1,500 meters. Locals jokingly refer to Gilbach as the 'Valley of the Howling Winds'—a nickname it truly lives up to when the Föhn wind sweeps through the fir trees in autumn. The Gilbach valley is a small, charming area just outside Adelboden, offering breathtaking views of the Fitzer, the local mountain cherished by the community.

A 'Weidhaus' is similar to an alpine hut but historically served as a 'middle station' for livestock before they moved up to the high summer pastures. For a long time, cattle were kept in the stable during spring and autumn; for several years now, it has become the summer home for our shaggy goats.

WINTER: Snowshoes and poles are available for your use. Whenever possible, we will clear a path or lay tracks for you, though this may not always be immediate after fresh snowfall.
