Head west out of Adelboden across the Hahnenmoon Pass (1,950m elevation) and on to Lenk. Stop for a breather and to stock up on fuel as you have another epic climb coming! Cross Lenk, following the river Walbach upstream, passing a few pretty waterfalls as you climb steeper and steeper up the Truttlisberg Pass at a whopping 2038m. Enjoy the victory descent along hiking trails through pastures and woodlands to the small town of Lauenen.
