01/ Overview
The route
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.
From the BĂ€rau, Schwimmbad bus stop, it is around 150 m to the start by the indoor swimming pool. The eight-kilometre trail leaves the houses of BĂ€rau behind and heads out across open meadows and fields. Beyond Schilfacher, the profile remains gentle, with a total elevation gain of only around 60 metres. The even course, without any notable climbs, leaves ample opportunity to take in the broad, agricultural surroundings.
The trail then sweeps through the area around Ortbach. Near Bircheneggchnubel, roughly halfway along, is the highest point at around 720 m. The route then descends gently again and heads back towards BĂ€rau. Open terrain accompanies the return as far as the first houses. After just under two hours, the circuit closes back at the indoor swimming pool in Langnau.
