https://myviaalpina.wordpress.com/: Adelboden has a fairly touristy, and crowded, downtown shopping district. However, if you walk just a little ways off the main drag, there are exquisite neighborhoods lined with traditional chalets. We stayed at a B and B called Haus Alpengruss, which has a superb location, good facilities and very cordial hosts (they speak English, if that’s important to you).
