About Sörenberg
Sörenberg is a village at about 1,160 m in the Entlebuch UNESCO biosphere, within the municipality of Flühli. Peaks above 2,000 m surround it: the Brienzer Rothorn to the south and the karst Schrattenfluh to the west. Moorland is the local speciality: nowhere else in Switzerland has so much protected moor in so small an area, and there is a Moorland Trail and the Mooraculum nature experience. The ski area has 43 km of pistes over 24 runs, plus 42 km of cross-country trails, and the Rossweid cable car and the Brienzer Rothorn aerial tramway both leave from Sörenberg. Our homes are clustered in and around Sörenberg. Most have a garden, many have a fireplace, and a few have a sauna.
Is Sörenberg right for you?
- Best for
- Families wanting low-key skiing, moorland walks and a garden
- Not for you if
