BY ROAD

Visitors from Northern Europe will usually enter Switzerland at Basel either from France, south of Mulhouse or from Germany, south of Freiburg.  From there, the route is straightforward, following the motorway towards (but not into) Bern then towards (but not as far as) Interlaken.  Kandersteg is signposted from the motorway.

 If you use a GPS it is unlikely that it will find the house once you are in Kandersteg. It is highly recommended that you bring directions with you for reference! 

PLEASE OBSERVE THE 20KM SPEED RESTRICTION ON OUR PRIVATE UNMADE ROAD.

DIRECTIONS TO THE HAYLOFT

As you climb up the valley to Kandersteg village you will go through a series of hairpin bends.  Just after the last of these you will see a sign that says “   Kandersteg Zentrum”.  Take this slip road off to the right and it will take you into the village . Once you enter Kandersteg it is only a five minute drive to The Hayloft!

Alternatively if you come through the Loetschberg Tunnel on the car train you will leave the train already in the village.

Once in the village you will see a large hotel on the right called “The Bernerhof” this is opposite a large open area on your left.  Continue on the same road as it winds through the centre.  The next open area of farmland on the left is just after a bakers and Italian restaurant.  Once you pass this farmland you need to turn right.  The small road is signposted “Allmenalp” and there is a stone water trough on the right, but probably more noticeable is a green bin on the fence on the corner.

This road will take you over the river and under the railway.  Follow this road as it winds.  You will pass a large white building on the left and then a large house on the left also.  At the next house on the left the road makes a sharp turn to the left.  This is a blind corner.  DO NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT ON.  About 30 metres after this bend there is a small unmade private road across open land to the right.  It is signposted on a street light “Dhammapala” also "Butschelsstrasse 56 - 74" turn right here.  You can now see our house across the field to your right.  Continue on this unmade road for about 100 metres until you see "The Hayloft" sign by the small bridge over the stream on your right.  Turn right here……. You are almost at The Hayloft!
