Hike
A varied mountain hike from Marbach via Brunnemoos and the idyllic Speicherseeli to Marbachegg—with magnificent views of the Schrattenfluh and the Bernese Alps.

The hike begins at the Marbachegg Sports Cable Cars’ valley station in Marbach. The trail first leads up a gentle slope to the ski jump and continues through the varied landscape of the Entlebuch region toward Brunnemoos. Here, the idyllically situated Speicherseeli lake invites you to

take

a short break and enjoy the peace and quiet.

The trail then climbs steadily over the Siedmoosflue. As you gain elevation, beautiful views of the village of Marbach and the surrounding “Höger” mountains open up again and again. After the final ascent, you’ll reach the sun terrace at Marbachegg—with a fantastic view of the striking Schrattenfluh, the Hohgant, and the peaks of the Bernese Alps. The mountain inn and the impressive panorama make your arrival a special experience and provide the perfect spot for a well-deserved break.
