Marbachegg

Known as the sun terrace of the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch, Marbachegg perfectly combines relaxation, nature, and adventure. Your journey begins with a ride on the "Bretzeli-Bahn" gondola from Marbach, opening up to a spectacular panorama that showcases the striking Schrattenfluh, the Hohgant, and the snow-capped peaks of the Bernese Alps.

You can take in these views from the spacious sun terrace of the mountain inn, the perfect spot for a hearty mountain breakfast or a relaxing Sunday brunch. Themed culinary evenings and vibrant sunsets add an extra touch of magic to the experience. 

For families, the area is packed with entertainment: kids can track down the "Bretzeli" photo orienteering challenges, race down the wooden track on mountain carts, or take an easy stroll to the small lake and onward to Kemmeriboden-Bad, a spot famous for its legendary meringues.

Hikers will find plenty of trails to explore across the idyllic landscape. For something unique, grass skiing transforms the green meadows into a summer slope, while paragliding offers a fresh perspective from the skies. Mountain bikers are also in for a treat: the "Clientis Flowtrail" and the "CKW Jumptrail" are packed with berms, rollers, and jumps of all sizes, offering pure riding fun for beginners and pros alike.

When the weather is dry, the gondola extends its operations until 8:00 p.m. on Thursday evenings. It is the ideal setup for an after-work bike ride, a sunset hike, or an evening dinner at the mountain inn. Be sure to check the current status of the facilities here before planning your visit.
