Leisurely winter hike from the village center of Sörenberg to the valley station of the Brienzer Rothorn aerial cableway.

From the village center of Sörenberg, the trail leads past the Rossweid cable car valley station along the Waldemme towards Schönenboden. The majestic Brienzer Rothorn is always in view as the impressive winter sports area unfolds. You pass the ski kindergarten, where the youngest ski acrobats learn their first turns in the snow. Via Sörenberg Platz, you continue along the Waldemme and the village trails. Here you can watch winter sports enthusiasts cross-country skiing - a true spectacle of elegance and skill.

Shortly before Habchegg, you cross the road and enter the enchanting forest, which leads you towards Bödili. At Bödili, walk a few meters along the main road to the valley station of the Brienzer Rothorn aerial cableway. Once you arrive at the valley station, you have the option of returning via Witmoos or taking the sports bus back to the village.

Why not make a detour to the highest peak in Lucerne? At 2350 m above sea level, the Brienzer Rothorn is the highest mountain in the canton.

Safety guidelines

We ask you to 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 one behind the other and do not step into the tracks.

  • Allow sufficient time and monitor the weather

  • Behave calmly, so there is even the possibility of seeing wild animals; observe the animals from a reasonable distance

  • Your dogs are also allowed to enjoy winter sports here, but must be kept on a lead

  • Take your waste home with you along with your wonderful memories.


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!
