What makes Adelboden a pleasant place to visit is its charming qualities as the quintessential Swiss mountain village. It has a small parish church whose history goes back to 1433. Inside you can see beautiful frescoes and stained-glass windows by Augusto Giacometti.

Today Adelbodern, like so many towns and villages in the region, has turned to tourism as its main income earner. It is a popular ski resort, particularly for vacationing families. The place is also ideal for hiking and mountain biking during summer.

About 4 km outside the village is Engstligen Falls, a spectacular waterfall. You can reach it by car. People who are hiking the area can head for the 2,613 m (8,573 ft) Ammertenspitz.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
