Winter hike Marbachegg-Marbach

The first altitude meters on this winter hike are covered by the Bretzeli-Bahn from Marbach to Marbachegg. Once at the top, a special view awaits you – between Schibegütsch and Hohgant opens the view to the Bernese Alps with Schreckhorn, Finsteraarhorn and Eiger. Take a moment to sit in the deck chair on the sun terrace of the mountain inn and treat yourself to some refreshment before the upcoming route.

In the first section, you walk between the charming holiday cottages before the winter hiking trail turns sharply left towards Speichersee and Schottenhof Lochsitli. At the Oberlochsitli farm, the winter hiking trail continues to Wittenfärren. On this section, the impressive Schrattenfluh with the steep flanks constantly accompanies you. You also always have the Schibegütsch, which forms the southern end of the Schrattenfluh, in view. The hike shortly after the Wittenfärren farm goes into the forest and steadily downhill along the road towards Nesselboden and Cholweid. Just before the first housing area "Bühl" you can make a short detour to the Lourdes Grotto. A very special place of power. Then a cozy path leads into the village and back to the valley station of the Marbachegg ski lifts.

Special fares for pedestrians During the entire winter season, pedestrians can ride the gondola to Marbachegg and back for only 11 francs. More information.
