Around the Schrattenfluh

Mountainbike trail
Time required: 5 hoursLength: 52.12 km

UNESCO Biosphäre Entlebuch - Round tour around the striking Schrattenfluh with steep climbs and interesting single trails!

This unique but challenging route starts in Sörenberg. Head towards Flühli via Birkenhof - Junkholz. In Flühli, the first ascent is on an alpine road towards the Hilfern Pass. However, this first effort is immediately rewarded with a unique view of the impressive Schrattenfluh. The route continues towards the waterfall to Hürnli and then past the Imbrig Alp (be sure to stop and try the delicious alp cheese) to Unter Lochsitli.

Continue via Bumbach to Kemmeriboden, where the ascent begins again. Via Schönisei - Schneeberg you head towards Salwideli, where the beautiful moorlands bloom with colorful orchids. Via Südelhöchi you descend again to Sörenberg.

Great insights into this bike tour can be found in the blog post Mountain biking around the Schrattenfluh.
