At Schüpfheim you will board a Postbus to the family-friendly resort of Sörenberg. Once past the idyllic Lamm Gorge, stop at Flühli to visit Switzerland’s most beautiful Kneipp facility. After a relaxing break and a short Postbus ride you arrive in Sörenberg.

Sörenberg–Giswil

Now the fun begins – the road becomes ever steeper and its turns narrower. As buses ar unable to pass each other, they can only travel along the Panorama route in alternating directions and at hourly intervals. A unique travel experience with delightful scenery. The journey through the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch ends at Giswil. From here you can connect to Lucerne, Interlaken or Berne by train.
