Here at KISC, we try to be as inclusive as possible to all guests who stay with us. Much of our facilities in the past have been constructed without wheelchair access in mind. Over the years, we have adapted the Centre to give access to people that may have limited mobility.

Wheelchair Access and Limited Mobility

The group house Sunneblick has a wheelchair-accessible toilet on the ground floor; however, no way to access the upper floors. If your group were booking in the Sunneblick, we would look to accommodate anyone with physical access needs in the Old Chalet or Kanderlodge instead.

The Tower is currently not wheelchair accessible due to a lack of wheelchair-accessible bathrooms. It may be suitable for guests with limited mobility; however, as our campsite is a vehicle-free site, please take this into consideration.

The New Chalet does not have any access for people with limited mobility due to a set of stairs to the 1^st floor and no option for lift access.

The Old Chalet has several points of access for guests with limited mobility. To access the ground floor, we have a chair lift in front of the Old Chalet. On this floor, there is also one wheelchair-accessible bathroom near the common rooms and another bathroom suitable for limited mobility in the Coffee Bar.

We also have a lift which provides access to the 1st-floor  bedrooms, including the accessible bedrooms. On this floor, there is also a lockable wet room. We do not have baths available, but showers with shower stools are available.

An option for more privacy is the Kanderlodge. Whilst this is still not completely wheelchair accessible, the bedrooms are accessible via ramp access from the Roverglande. There is also access to the lounge and kitchen via the Gasterntal Meeting room. The showers are not currently wheelchair accessible. Guests who stay in the Kanderlodge may also use the wheelchair-accessible bathroom on Old Chalet 1st floor if they find it more comfortable.

Our campsite is somewhat accessible, we have a wheelchair-accessible toilet in our main toilet block, and the sites around there are accessible for wheelchairs with all-terrain tyres. However, please note that the campsite is prone to holes in the ground, is not flat and has many hills, therefore please take this into consideration for your mobility needs before booking!
The main campfire circle, where our Jamboree Campfire is held, is wheelchair accessible by going through some of our campsites.

Other Accessibility Considerations at KISC

• We have fridges to store medication or medical devices across our site. Please let us know if you would like to use these during your stay. The safety of items left in the communal fridges cannot be guaranteed. However, items left in lockable areas would only be accessible outside of Duty hours (7:00-22:00) in event of an emergency.
  Fridges can be found in the following locations:

  • In the Old Chalet (on the floors with the bedrooms and inside a locked First Aid room).
  • On the campsite (in the communal fridges on both the Roveglande and Main Campsite, as well as in the locked Campsite Office).
  • In the Kanderlodge or group houses in the communal kitchens.
• Electricity is not available on our campsite; therefore, we recommend guests book a room in our indoor accommodation if needing electricity at night to power CPAP machines or similar.
• If electrical devices need charging overnight, please get in touch, as we can make arrangements for these to be left charging. Please note that this would be at the guest’s risk.
• Most of our bathrooms are gendered; however, we have gender-neutral bathrooms across the site if preferred. Please let us know prior to arrival, as some gender-neutral bathrooms require a key to access.
• Assistance dogs are more than welcome at KISC! We do prefer that you let us know in advance if you will be bringing an assistant dog, as we aim to keep some of our rooms pet-free for future guests who may have allergies.
