Winter hike to Glaubenbielen Pass in Sörenberg

This sporty hike starts in the village of Sörenberg. First, it gently goes uphill from the village center to the indoor pool and further to the last residential building. From here, the path dives ever deeper into nature.

After the rather leisurely start, two steeper sections follow before reaching the Schwändeli/Totmoos plateau. Fascinating: The extent of the landslide at Sörenberg can still be seen on this route. The Laui Sörenberg area is a prehistoric landslide area. In 1910, about 1.5 million m³ of material thundered down the mountain about 40 meters and remained loose. In rainy weather, there is always the danger that the deposited debris will slide into the valley as a mudflow.

On the snow-covered Panorama road, which is closed to traffic in winter, you descend via Emmenwald to the “Bödili” and the Schönenboden valley station of the Brienzer Rothorn aerial cableway. Tip: From here, a detour to the “highest Lucerne” is worthwhile. The Brienzer Rothorn (2,350 m above sea level) offers a panoramic view of 693 mountain peaks. Pedestrians ride the cable car up to the Brienzer Rothorn and back for CHF 15 in winter, here is the aerial cableway timetable.

Back at the valley station, follow the winter hiking trail along the Waldemme back to the village of Sörenberg.
