Our Chalet, the first World Guiding Centre, has an amazing winter programme on offer this year.

I want this to be me sooooo badly!

And one year it will be.

There's a New Years break.

Adelboden is one of top three winter activities resorts in Switzerland, offers pristine nature covered with a thick layer of snow with perfect conditions for downhill skiing and snowboarding.The resort offers 210 km of groomed pistes. It also has several cross country skiing, sledding and airboarding areas and winter trails for snow shoe hiking.
Winter time is also perfect for snow games, igloo building, campfires, snow barbecue and more.

During Witner weeks they also run Evening programmes including International night, Swiss cultural night, WAGGGS Night, Games and Campfires.

I think I left part of my heart in Our Chalet last spring and I long to be back inside the lovely wooden Chalet, it holds an atmosphere that is everything that is good and right about Guiding today.

It is staffed with enthusiastic volunteers that made it precisely the experience I imagined it would be.
