A varied route along the Schrattenfluh to Marbachegg with beautiful views of the Bernese Alps all the way to the Jura. From Marbachegg, the route leads back to Marbach via the Clientis Flowtrail.

The Marbacher Panoramarunde starts in the village of Marbach and follows the signs of bike route 820 along the entire route. First, you ride along the road into the Hilfern Valley, where you enjoy a unique view of the Schrattenfluh. From there, it goes uphill to the Hürndlihütte and then back down through the Marbach Gorge. The route leads uphill and downhill to Marbachegg, passing Alp Imbrig, where fine alpine cheese is made.

From Marbachegg, the route leads back to the valley station and to the village of Marbach via the Clientis Flowtrail Marbachegg. The 4 km varied route is equipped with many playful elements. Bikers from small to large, young or old, are equally enthusiastic about the diverse challenges over roots and stones. Difficult sections are marked and can be bypassed.

As an alternative to the Clientis Flowtrail Marbachegg (red trail), there is a bypass for leisurely mountain bikers. Via Kadhusspycher (just before Marbachegg) follow the road towards Nesselboden - Risete back to Marbach.

Connection to the Rund um die Schrattenfluh route is possible via Ober Lochsitli.
