Children's hiking trail «Godi & Kari»

Hike on the fun dwarf trail on the Sunnbüel

Little gnomes are hiding in the Sunnbüel region in the Bernese Oberland and are looking forward to being found by your children. With each dwarf you will find a clue, a riddle, or a short fairy tale.

The puzzle sheet with the clues as to where the dwarves are hiding is available free of charge at the valley station of the cable car.

Take the train from Bern directly to Kandersteg. You can easily reach the Kandersteg Sunnbüel valley station by bus from Kandersteg.

Children's hiking trail

Search for gnomes and solve puzzles - even in winter.

The Godi & Kari winter children's hiking trail in the snow offers lots of fun for young and old. In winter, the gnomes hide closer to the mountain station and the cosy Sunnbüel mountain restaurant. The circular trail is just under 2 kilometres long and takes less than an hour.

On some sections of the route, a rapid descent on a bobsleigh or sledge is possible. Smaller children can be pulled in a sledge along the entire route. Take care on uphill and downhill sections.

When handing in their talons at the Sunnbüel mountain restaurant, young guests receive a warm punch. All participants are also automatically entered into the main prize draw at the end of the winter season.
