Intro
Cross-country skiing in the upper Emmental surrounded by unspoiled hills. Lined with wooded slopes, this flat trail winds its way along the valley floor between Langnau and Trubschachen, following the Ilfis river. Impressive Emmental farmhouses are dotted along both sides of the cross-country skiing trail.
Description
The trail starts in Langnau, the main village in the upper Emmental. More specifically, the circular trail that follows the Ilfis, a tributary of the Emme river, begins just outside the village near the indoor swimming pool. With the exception of a small hump near Ramsern, the trail along the wide valley floor – wide compared to the rest of the Emmental at least – is almost entirely flat. As there are no steep inclines to battle against, this cross-country skiing trail is particularly well-suited for beginners and families.
Effortlessly glide and skate your way through the valley's picturesque landscape, surrounded by steep wooded slopes. Peppered throughout the rolling hills are some impressive Emmental farmhouses. With their hipped roofs and richly decorated façades, these farmhouses are a reminder of the agricultural sector’s heyday in the 18th century.
The trail makes a couple of loops and crosses two small brooks before the terrain begins to change just before Trubschachen: the village where the Emmental and Entlebuch meet is a gateway to the mountainous Napf region. The village is most famous for being home to some sweet temptations as the cookie manufacturer Kambly has its headquarters here. There are several restaurants near the trail where you can stop and take a break – and your coffee is bound to be served with a Kambly Bretzeli cookie on the side!
