This culinary route leads through the beautiful winter fairy-tale land of Sörenberg. Four culinary hiking breaks sweeten your winter hike through the snowy moor landscape.

The easy winter hike in a beautiful setting takes you through the wonderfully snowy moor landscape between Rossweid and Salwideli. Always in view are the white limestone fields of the Schrattenfluh and the steep slopes of the Brienzergrat. Everything is arranged to amaze you.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

The dreamlike moor landscape between Rossweid and Salwideli is of national importance. In the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch, numerous valuable moor habitats are located, whose inhabitants know fascinating tricks to survive.

Safety guidelines

Please observe the following points on the winter hiking trails:

  • Stay on the marked routes
  • If possible, avoid the cross-country ski trail. If this is not possible, walk in a line and do not step into the tracks.
  • Plan enough time and monitor the weather
  • Behave quietly; there is even a chance to see wildlife; observe animals from a respectful distance
  • Your dogs may also do winter sports with us, but must be kept on a leash
  • Take your trash home with your wonderful memories.
  • Please be at the Hotel Sörenberg / Restaurant Bäckerstube by 5:00 PM at the latest.

If nature sports enthusiasts respect the space of wild animals, fewer bans and restrictions are needed, and the natural landscape remains open for genuine nature experiences. We ask for your careful consideration and thank you for it!
