“Sörenberg–Kemmeriboden” special ticket
Hike through the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch, Switzerland’s first biosphere reserve. Moorland landscapes, fissured limestone surfaces and wild mountain streams make for an unforgettable experience of nature. For the final touch, enjoy a heavenly meringue at the Landgasthof Kemmeriboden Bad restaurant.
From Sörenberg you can take the cable car to Rossweid. From here you can begin an impressive hike via Salwideli through moorland of national importance. With gnarled mountain pines and pretty orchids, you'll feel like you've been transported to another world. The magnificent scenery and breathtaking views are a delight in both summer and winter.
