My eldest daughter lives in Kandersteg and has sent some lovely photos to us over the last few months.
We spent 4 nights in the village and it was so lovely. There are a variety of restaurants, various price choices for dining. The main village has the railway station, the train runs hourly, as does the bus to the surrounding area.
There are shops and little cafes in the village. The outdoor sports shops are very pricey but good quality, it's cheaper to pay baggage allowance if you fly to transport your own equipment, but you can hire from certain shops.
We ate at a lovely unpretentious restaurant twice, D'Alpes, locally known as Desi's, tasty food for reasonable Swiss price.
We enjoyed a few hours at the local Ice Rink, reasonably priced with skate hire, nice little cafe.....I'd advise the Skater to wrap up warm.
We mostly walked in and out the village, the scenery changes with the weather!

This was our second visit to Kandersteg for the cross country skiing. We came back because it is undoubtedly a beautiful location and also has downhill skiing close by (which my partner does). However, the ski loops are very limited - okay for beginners (which I was last year) but fairly monotonous after a few days for anyone intermediate level and above. The snow was poor this year which didn't help. Many of the longer, more challenging loops were closed. Also, while the tourist information boasts a certain number of kilometres of track most of these are loops within other loops (so, for example, the green, yellow and black runs are in fact the same loop except for occassional extensions). But most difficult is how the runs are taken over by events on the weekend during the season. This happened both last year and this year's visit even though I'd tried to get a weekend where there was nothing advertised as happening in the village (it turned out there was, it just hadn't been advertised on the website events page). The loops can be closed for the entire weekend or, as this weekend, a central loop is closed off which means we have to stop, get off the loop, walk a few hundred metres, and find another loop. Surely better organisation would be to move the event to the edge of the village or a loop so as not to interrupt the rest of us that still want to ski. More annoying is the lack of attention to the trails even on weekends. They don't seem to be regularly groomed. Perhaps resources get diverted to the events rather than general trail maintenance. I can see these events may bring people to the village for a weekend but they don't seem to do much to fill the tables of restaurants during the rest of the week. The guests who stay all week try to do that but unfortunately we won't be back again as weve feel we lost two days of skiing each year. We're heading back to Scandinavia where the runs are really long and uninterrupted.
