UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch
Visionary. Naturally.
Few regions in Switzerland can match the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch in its wealth of natural treasures. Here you will find Switzerland’s largest and most numerous moor landscapes and striking karst terrain as well as flora and fauna of national and international importance. No wonder UNESCO designated Entlebuch as Switzerland’s first biosphere reserve almost 25 years ago. Since then, the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch has dedicated itself to promoting sustainability across all areas – including the promotion of sustainable tourism based around offers that are both compatible with nature and climate-friendly. These efforts were clearly a major success. In 2011, during its 10-yearly inspection, UNESCO declared the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch a model biosphere for the world – a distinction the bioshere successfully upheld in 2021. We are proud of this achievement, and will keep working to maintain our status.
Come and experience it for yourself – we look forward to welcoming you!
