--- title: "Entlebuch Passes Route" url: "https://www.luzern.com/en/tour/entlebuch-passes-route" description: "The route starts in the village of Sörenberg and soon rises steeply up to the Glaubenbielen pass. Bet you don’t even realize the steep ascent? The beautiful landscape offers great views along the way. Once at the top, you will be thrilled by the view of Lake Sarnen. You will quickly forget the effort - promised. Now it goes down to Giswil and then along Lake Sarnen to Sarnen, where a break by the lake is more than deserved. From Sarnen, the route goes via Stalden back uphill to the second pass, Glaubenberg. Pay special attention here to the many cattle grids. On the Obwalden side, you might encounter some cows on the road. Just before the pass summit, there are several restaurants, for example the Berghotel Langis or the mountain restaurant Schwendi-Kaltbad. Also at the pass summit, you find the Passhöchi Beizli amidst enchanting moorland. The moorland \"Glaubenberg\" is part of the Federal Inventory of Moorlands of especial beauty and national significance. It is the largest in Switzerland and extends between the Pilatus chain in the north and the Glaubenbielen pass in the south over 130 square kilometers – somewhat larger than Lake Lucerne. From there it goes downhill again via Gfellen and Finsterwald to Entlebuch. Here you follow the Emme river toward Schüpfheim before the final climb – the starting point of this route is again in the village of Sörenberg." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2769810/3c1c38ecec7755b45f963d4031c0b412b178afef104c66cb36dfcd7f039ecef1/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Welcome to Lucerne > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Entlebuch Passes Route ====================== - Tip - 113.69 km long - Round trip - Difficulty: difficult - Condition: difficult - Great panorama - E-Bike - bike tour - Tour The challenging route over the two passes Glaubenberg and Glaubenbielen in Entlebuch.
