Entlebuch – a winter paradise for families
Where snow-covered moorland landscapes meet enjoyable adventures: The Entlebuch enchants in winter with authentic experiences far away from mass tourism. Between glistening snowy landscapes and warm hospitality, a winter fairytale awaits families and connoisseurs looking for the real thing in the UNESCO biosphere.
Magical Advent season
When the first snowflakes dance over the hills of the Entlebuch, the UNESCO biosphere is transformed into an atmospheric winter wonderland. The Advent season shows its traditional side here - without glitter and commerce, but all the more heartfelt.
The Christmas markets, where Entlebuch craftsmanship and culinary delicacies from the region take center stage, are particularly charming. The scent of gingerbread and freshly baked biscuits mingles with the aroma of mulled wine and punch.
The atmospheric lantern and Advent trails that lead through the wintry biosphere are also a highlight. Whether alone, with family or with friends, a walk through the evening silence in the warm light of the lanterns is a contemplative experience in harmony with nature.
Sörenberg Flühli: Where children's dreams come true
The Sörenberg Flühli vacation region is much more than just a ski resort - it is a well-thought-out winter experience for the whole family. The focus here is on fun for the little ones, without the parents missing out.
The ski area scores with gentle slopes, professional ski and snow sports schools and an infrastructure that is completely geared towards the needs of families. While the children make their first turns in the snow or make new friends in the Kids Village, parents can enjoy the view of the impressive mountain scenery. And when their legs get tired, cozy mountain restaurants beckon with warm drinks and regional specialties.
The two toboggan runs from Rossweid down into the valley offer plenty of fun and action. The well-prepared runs provide thrills for young and old alike - and against a backdrop that is second to none. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can be enchanted by the atmosphere on the artificial ice rink or immerse themselves in a breathtakingly beautiful fairytale world on groomed snowshoe trails and winter hiking paths.
Marbach mountain cheese dairy: cheese meets mountain air
A trip to the Entlebuch would not be complete without a visit to the Marbach mountain cheese dairy. Visitors can discover the fascinating world of traditional cheese production at the cheese dairy. Through large panoramic windows, you can look over the shoulders of the cheesemakers as they work their craft - a process that captivates children and adults alike. Groups of 6 or more can also put their newly acquired knowledge into practice in the cheese workshop and make a classic Mutschli or shape mozzarella balls.
The absolute highlight, however, is the outdoor fondue. Equipped with a caquelon, gas burner, Entlebuch tea, white wine, bread and the fabulous fondue mixture from the mountain cheese dairy, you head to your favorite spot to enjoy a wonderfully creamy fondue in the great outdoors.
Authentic, close to nature, unforgettable
The UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch impressively proves that unforgettable winter vacations don't need overcrowded slopes and après-ski hype. It's the quiet sounds that count here: the crunch of snow underfoot, the laughter of children sledging, the silence of the snow-covered moorland. If you travel to the Entlebuch in winter, you will discover a piece of unspoilt Switzerland, where tradition and modernity, nature and enjoyment form a harmonious whole.
