Marbach - Marbachegg

The Marbach - Marbachegg ski area is located in the UNESCO Entlebuch Biosphere in the canton of Lucerne and offers around 10 km of pistes from easy to challenging. A gondola and ski lifts serve the sunny area, which is aimed particularly at families and leisure skiers. At the valley station there is a practice slope with two children's lifts and a sledging slope.

Families and Kids

The Marbachegg is aimed at families: at the valley station there is a practice slope with two children's lifts, reachable on foot in 2 minutes from the car park, plus a prepared sledging slope next to it. The Swiss Ski School Marbachegg offers children's ski courses with Snowli and a Snowli course on the pistes, and the Famigros Ski Day also takes place here.

Food and drinks

The Berggasthaus Marbachegg at 1,500 m serves regional dishes, preferably sourced from the region, on a sunny terrace with a view. It also offers menus for groups of 15 or more and can host birthdays, weddings or company meals. A fondue can be enjoyed there between sledging runs, with a reservation required.
