Kemmeriboden - Marbachegg

The hike starts at Kemmeriboden-Bad in the Emmental valley, a place famous for its giant meringues. From here, the trail first follows the Grosse Emme river before climbing steadily through the varied landscape of the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch. As the path gains altitude, the view of the surrounding hills and mountains opens up more and more. The ascent leads across alpine pastures and through forest sections towards Marbachegg. Along the way, traditional alpine huts and the typical pre-Alpine landscape provide a diverse experience. The panorama becomes increasingly impressive as you climb higher. Finally, you reach the Marbachegg at around 1'480 m a.s.l. Here, the highlight of the hike is a wide view over the Entlebuch region and towards the Hohgant and the distinctive Schrattenfluh. On a clear day, the view extends as far as the Bernese Alps. After the ascent, there is the option to stop for refreshments at Marbachegg before the hike ends there. Those who do not wish to descend back into the valley on foot can take the gondola lift comfortably down to Marbach. Once at the bottom, cheese lovers are recommended to visit the Bergkäserei Marbach.
