Come and discover the UNESCO Entlebuch Biosphere Reserve.
The UNESCO Entlebuch Biosphere offers mystical landscapes: wild marshes alternate with idyllic alpine meadows, with the majestic peaks of the Schrattenfluh and Rothorn towering majestically above.
​
We'll be staying with Diane & Nick at the Guesthouse Kreuz in Marbach, and travelling short distances by postal bus.
​
Day 1: Friday 24.01.2025
Meet at the Kambly factory in Trübschachen at 10:15. We'll have a coffee and visit the biscuit fabric before starting our hike to Escholzmatt. It's a hike of around 12 km and 500 m ascent, which we'll do on foot. From Escholzmatt we'll take the postal bus to the Guesthouse Kreuz in Marbach (10 minutes).
We'll be staying in double or triple rooms.
​
If there's a lot of snow, there'll be a slight variation, but I'll let you know beforehand.

Day 2: Saturday, 25.01.2025
We take the gondolas to Marbachegg and head off on a magnificent snowshoe tour (9km and 600m ascent), before enjoying a homemade lunch at the Schottenhof Lochsitli farm. Renate will give us a taste of the farm's delicacies. Then we will go back to the Guesthouse Kreuz in Marbach for tea and a delicious slice of cake before dinner.
Day 3: Sunday, 26.01.2025
After breakfast, we hike to Kemmeribodenbad (12 km and 600 m ascent), where we enjoy the famous “Meringues à la crème” at the magnificent Kemmeribodenbad Hotel in Entlebuch.
After a hearty snack, we'll take the post bus back to Marbach's Guesthouse Kreuz to collect our luggage before heading back home.
