Snowshoe trail round route Marbachegg

Snowshoe route
Time required: 45 minutesLength: 1.69 km

UNESCO Biosphäre Entlebuch -

Closed
Enchanting views during the snowshoe route on the sunny terrace Marbachegg are guaranteed here.

With the gondola, you float up to the sunny terrace Marbachegg. Once at the top, a special view awaits – between Schibengütsch and Hohgant the view opens to the Bernese Alps with the Schreckhorn, Finsteraarhorn and Eiger. The trail starts directly at the mountain inn on Marbachegg and first passes some charming holiday homes to the holiday camp house. Here you can watch the skiers as they take the descent towards Marbach. You continue hiking straight ahead to Gassenegg where there are some resting benches where you can enjoy the silence and view of the surrounding mountains. Now it goes downhill where the trail first leads through open terrain and later along the forest edge to Unter Lochsitli. Here it goes back up past the reservoir lake to the Marbachegg mountain station.

Special fares for pedestrians
Pedestrians travel for only 11 francs up to Marbachegg and back throughout the entire winter season, more info.

Safety advices

Please observe the following points on the winter hiking trails:

  • Stay on the marked routes

  • Plan enough time and monitor the weather

  • Behave quietly; there is even a chance to see wildlife; observe animals from a respectful distance

  • Your dogs are also allowed to do winter sports with us, but must be on a leash

  • Take your rubbish home with your beautiful memories.

If nature sportspeople respect the space of the wildlife, fewer bans and restrictions are needed and the natural landscape remains open for real nature experiences. We ask for careful consideration and thank you for it!
