Marbachegg - Bumbach - Marbach

On this hike, you can cover the first altitude meters using the Bretzeli-Bahn of the Marbachegg ski lifts. The base station is located a little outside the village of Marbach. Once at Marbachegg, you will surely marvel at the wide view to the Schrattenfluh and Hohgant, with the snowy-tipped Bernese high Alps towering in between. Take your time and enjoy the view. At the mountain inn, you can start the day from Monday to Saturday with a mountain breakfast buffet and go hiking strengthened.

The hike starts right at the mountain inn past the storage pond toward Oberlochsitli and Wittenfärren. At the first junction after Oberlochsitli, turn right toward Unterlochsitli. Shortly after Unterlochsitli, you have already crossed the border to the canton of Bern and are now in the hilly landscapes of the Emmental. Continue to follow the hiking trails down to the Emme. Now follow the Emme for quite a stretch. Why not use the refreshing water for a foot bath? In the Port area, you cross the Emme again and head towards the village of Schangnau. Opposite the Löwen guesthouse, follow the signpost to Kemmeriboden-Bad and continue following the hiking trail toward Marbach. Along the Schonbach, it goes back to Marbach and the base station of the Marbachegg ski lifts.
