Swiss Hiking Night in Escholzmatt-Marbach

The scent of freshly mown grass, the rustling of the trees and distant cowbells accompany this special night hike. The focus is on intense sensory impressions that are perceived particularly consciously at night - from the warmth of a fire to the sound of an alphorn and legendary tales under the starry sky. With a bit of luck, wild animals such as deer and tawny owls may also be seen.

The hike is led by Barbara Bieri and Fredy Lötscher, who accompany the participants quietly and attentively through forests and meadows.

The hike ends with a hearty, regional breakfast at the Tannenhof farm in Escholzmatt.

The start and finish are at Escholzmatt railroad station. The hike takes around 6 hours, is around 18 km long with 750 m ascent and descent and is aimed at weatherproof, nature-loving people and young people aged 12 and over who enjoy hiking.

The hike only takes place in safe weather conditions. Information about the tour will be available online on Thursday, June 25, 2026, and by telephone on 034 493 38 04.
