So, I'm still in central Switzerland and the Bernese Alps. In my previous post I was in Kandersteg and after cycling down the mountain I hung a left and went up the other side of the mountain to Adelboden.
Adelboden (population 3,300) is a traditional Swiss mountain village similar to Kandersteg in that you've got skiing, hiking (over 125 miles of hiking trails), mountain biking and mountain climbing. View of Adelboden's main shopping street.

Looks like the public swimming pool was recently closed--though it's in the low 90's today.

Tunnel. Sometimes cyclists are allowed through tunnels and other times it's forbidden. In Switzerland they'll usually post a sign showing an alternative route.
There's only one road to Adelboden and this is the old road section used before the tunnel was built. This couple likes to watch.
I'm assuming the people living in this house were responsible for the couple in previous photo. Can you imagine what it would have been like living here before the tunnel was built with cars trucks, buses passing so close to the house.
Lots of mountain huts.
The bike route down the mountain follows farm roads such as the one on the left of the Entschlige river.
