Entlebuch Emmental high route
UNESCO Biosphäre Entlebuch - This path is simply the height! Discover landscapes and mountain worlds that enchant and inspire in the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch and its neighboring region Emmental.
Sometimes the view looks towards the wild ravines and creeks of the Napf area. Sometimes it goes down into the lovely main valley of Entlebuch, onto streets and villages. And further on to the otherworldly hills and up to the eternal snow of the Bernese Alps. Start at dawn when the dew glitters and enjoy a unique fauna and flora. Rest in cozy inns far from noise and hustle and enjoy fascinating views.
The Entlebuch Emmental high route is divided into several stages and runs entirely on the existing hiking trail network. So you can set off without worries and according to your fitness. The lowest point is at 731 meters above sea level, the highest at 1415 meters above sea level – therefore the route is also feasible in spring and autumn when there may still be snow at higher altitudes. The entire trail is marked with high route signposts.
Stage 1: Doppleschwand – Obstaldenegg
