UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch
Visionary. Naturally.
You would be hard pressed to name any other region in Switzerland with as many natural treasures as the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch. Here you will find Switzerland’s largest and most numerous moor landscapes and striking karst terrain as well as flora and fauna of national and international importance. No wonder UNESCO designated Entlebuch as Switzerland’s first biosphere reserve 20 years ago. In the time since, the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch has devoted itself to sustainable activities in all areas – including the promotion of sustainable tourism based around offers that are both compatible with nature and climate-friendly. These efforts were clearly a major success. In 2011, during its 10-yearly inspection, UNESCO declared the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch a model biosphere for the world – a distinction the bioshere successfully upheld in 2021. We are proud of this achievement, and will keep working to maintain our status.
Come and see for yourself – we look forward to welcoming you!
