Elm, the Martinsloch and the UNESCO heritage

  • The Martinsloch and the UNESCO tectonic arena
  • Cable car in summer, a 4 km sledge run in winter
  • The timber village, Wakker Prize 1981

A full day in Elm, the wooden village at the end of the Sernf valley: the Martinsloch and the UNESCO tectonic arena, the cable car in summer or the 4 km sledge run in winter, and the village’s story. A car and guide just for you.

The day

  2. In summer, the Elmer Citro spring (weekdays) and the Tschinglen cable car, at the foot of the Tschingelhörner and the Martinsloch; in winter, the gondola up to the Ämpächli and the 4 km sledge run back down to the village
  3. Lunch in Elm, in the village or on the mountain
  4. The village of Elm: the timber houses, Wakker Prize 1981, the Suworow-Haus of 1799, and the trail over what the 1881 landslide left behind
  5. The Walensee seen from above, from the Kerenzerberg in Filzbach
  6. Back at your hotel around 5.45pm
