Adelboden tradition
 
The museum of local history documents the eventful 600 year history of the village. One particular sight worth seeing – the Adelboden village church.

Church of Adelboden

The Reformed Church of Adelboden, dating from the 15th century, is also worth a visit. Particularly picturesque are the frescoes in the entryway and the church windows, which were created by Augusto Giacometti. The village church of Adelboden has only experienced minor changes since its construction in 1433 and classical music concerts are regularly organised inside.    

Museum of Local History

The Adelboden Museum of Local History, opened in 1983, offers a varied exhibition of the traditions and life of the Engstligental. Visitors will find a remarkable collection of historically important objects from the region as well as sports equipment, clothing and minerals and information about the history of Adelboden. The museum also addresses current topics such as the avalanche winter of 1999. Open each Wednesday from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Landstrasse (across from Kino Rex in the former English Church).

folkloric evenings

The folkloric evenings organised during the summer months from June to August offer a living picture of the culture and traditions of the valley, including all aspects from yodelling to schwingen (traditional Swiss wrestling) and folk dancing. Please check dates in Events.

wood carving

The Trummer family has mastered the skills of wood carving since 1945 and passes it on from generation to generation. Melchior Trummer now represents the third generation at work.

It is accessible by 1 hour walk or by car. Open from Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 12:00 pm and from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Saturday from 10:30 am to 4:00 pm.
