--- title: "Winter hike to Glaubenbielen Pass in Sörenberg" url: "https://www.biosphaere.ch/en/tour/winter-hike-to-glaubenbielen-pass-in-soerenberg" description: "This sporty hike starts in the village of Sörenberg. First, it gently goes uphill from the village center to the indoor pool and further to the last residential building. From here, the path dives ever deeper into nature. After the rather leisurely start, two steeper sections follow before reaching the Schwändeli/Totmoos plateau. Fascinating: The extent of the landslide at Sörenberg can still be seen on this route. The Laui Sörenberg area is a prehistoric landslide area. In 1910, about 1.5 million m³ of material thundered down the mountain about 40 meters and remained loose. In rainy weather, there is always the danger that the deposited debris will slide into the valley as a mudflow. On the snow-covered Panorama road, which is closed to traffic in winter, you descend via Emmenwald to the “Bödili” and the Schönenboden valley station of the Brienzer Rothorn aerial cableway. Tip: From here, a detour to the “highest Lucerne” is worthwhile. The Brienzer Rothorn (2,350 m above sea level) offers a panoramic view of 693 mountain peaks. Pedestrians ride the cable car up to the Brienzer Rothorn and back for CHF 15 in winter, here is the aerial cableway timetable. Back at the valley station, follow the winter hiking trail along the Waldemme back to the village of Sörenberg." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/3044822/e1a1381096023dd74259586bc583e7606d94c56874f1ab1b6ae2511ab6bb47ae/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Winter hike to Glaubenbielen Pass in Sörenberg ============================================== - 9.62 km long - Round trip - Difficulty: medium - Condition: easy - Winter hiking - 2:50 h - 9.62 km - 385 m - 385 m - 1,151 m - 1,497 m - 346 m - - Start: Village center Sörenberg - Destination: Village center Sörenberg In winter, when the Panorama road on the Glaubenbielen Pass is closed, you experience pure nature here.

Read more Safety guidelines Please note the following points on the winter hiking trails: - Stay on the marked routes - If possible, avoid the cross-country ski track. If this is not possible, walk in single file and do not step into the tracks. - Plan enough time and monitor the weather - Behave quietly, so there is even the chance to see wild animals; observe the animals from a respectful distance - Your dogs are also allowed to do winter sports with us, but must be on a leash - Take your rubbish home with your beautiful memories. If nature sports enthusiasts respect the space of wild animals, fewer bans and restrictions are needed, and the natural landscape remains open for real nature experiences. We ask you to be considerate and thank you for that!
